Learning Outcomes
Competences
The students have mastered formal methods of description and representation that serve as the foundation for the application systems used in business informatics.
Skills Knowledge
  • LO2: The students can describe various tasks as graph-theoretical problems and assess whether solutions can be found in finite time or whether no solutions exist (K2).
  • LO3: They can describe formal languages using automata and formal grammars (K2).
  • LO4: They can classify formal languages using the Chomsky hierarchy (K2).
  • LO5: They can classify tasks as decidable, semi-decidable, or undecidable, and assign decidable tasks to the corresponding complexity class (K2).
  • LO6: They can represent processes using formal models (K3).
LO1: Fundamental concepts and algorithms of graph theory; graph transformations; formal languages, grammars, and automata; Turing machine; decidability and semi-decidability; complexity classes of problems and algorithms; formal process models (Petri nets, automata)
