Learning Outcomes

The seminar consists of a project and a presentation. You will have as a mentor one of the members of the SCG group and will work on a practical and focused problem in the domain of programming languages and programer productivity tools.

Seminar students will work on a small, supervised project during the semester. Due to the high cost of supervision, participation is strictly limited (selection will be based on the results of a short quiz).

After the successful completion of this course, you will be able to:

• Build an Eclipse plugin for static analysis, or
• Write a crawler that analyzes open source software repositories, or
