Abstract :
Applies pedagogical ideas of teaching curricula by using strategies of themes and breadth-first coverage, together with the technology of intelligent agents (e.g. mobile autonomous robots), to a system of courses in computer science (artificial intelligence) and information systems (systems engineering). The project brings the issues and constraints of real-time systems, especially the programming component, to students in computer science and information systems curricula. This project´s background started in June 1997 and continued during the first part of the 1997-1998 academic year. The actual project work started in January 1998 and is still continuing
