Advanced Cooperation Systems
About
About the course
Course content
The course includes the analysis of different cooperative settings as well as the study of methods, concepts, formalisms and tools for modelling, analyzing, designing, implementating and evaluating systems supporting cooperation. Focus will be on ubiquitous and mobile technology. A compulsory theory essay counts in the final grade.
Learning outcome
The main objective of the course is to train PhD students in the area of cooperation technology from a sociotechnical perspective. Students are expected to gain advanced knowledge about the state of the art in cooperation technology, in terms of theories, methods, and technology. At the end of the course students are expected to be able to apply the gained knowledge in the analysis of cooperative settings and in the design of new technology. They also will develop competencies needed to participate and set up research in the area.
It is expected that students can reflect and report on the use of AI-based tools in connection with their own work.
Learning methods and activities
Seminars, self-study, and own theory essay.
For lectures or seminars to be organized, at least 3 students must take the course.
Further on evaluation
(the information may be changed until June 15th)
The portfolio consists of three individual works.
Each work is a further development (draft, new draft, final version) of a theoretical essay/article that may be relevant to the candidate's doctoral project if desired.
- The works are submitted approximately in weeks 40, 45, and 50.
- All three works must be approved to pass the course.
- The last work is submitted in Inspera.
Supervision takes the form of seminars (or colloquium if less than 3 students take the course).
Dates for seminars will be agreed with students at the beginning of the semester.
In the event of failure, or valid absence, the entire portfolio must be retaken during a semester in which the course is taught.
Recommended previous knowledge
