Project in Software Engineering

Goal

The goal of this course is to do a non-trivial software project over a whole semester and to go through all its phases (requirements definition, design, implementation, testing, documentation). The projects can be done in teams of 2 (with doubled workload), but can also be selected by a single student. At the end of the semester, the results have to be presented in a 15 minutes presentation.

Topics

Open Topics

The following list contains open thesis topics that might have to be adjusted in size to fit as topic for Project in Software Engineering. You might also find an interesting open master thesis topic that could be adjusted to a Project in Software Engineering.
If you are interested in working on one of these topics, please contact the respective supervisor and discuss the scope of the work.
Once you have done this, please inform Dr. Markus Weninger (markus.weninger@jku.at) to mark your topic as assigned.
If you did not choose a topic before the introduction meeting (which has mandatory participation for everybody), you have to select one of the remaining open topics during that meeting.

Final Presentation

The results of every project have to be presented by all team members in a 15 minutes presentation at the end of the semester. The presentation should mainly consist of a demo, but you should also shortly explain the problems tackled in this project and how you solved them (no bullet point presentation - rather use graphics and examples to demonstrate your problem and solution).

Grading

The grading is performed based on the quality of the implemented software (functionality, user friendlyness, robustness, readability and maintainability, documentation) as well as from the final presentation and the commitment during the semester.
