This course is held in German. Therefore, the following description has not been translated.

Das Thema des Proseminars sind Binäre Entscheidungsgraphen (engl. binary decision diagrams, kurz BDDs). Diese wurden erstmals von Lee und Akers zur Darstellung von Schaltfunktionen vorgestellt. Heutzutage werden verschiedene Varianten von ordered BDDs (OBDDs) in zahlreichen Verifikationswerkzeugen und Model Checkern wie z. B. nuSMV oder Prism als Datenstruktur zur effizienten Speicherung und Analyse von Systemmodellen eingesetzt.

Die individuell zu bearbeitenden Seminarthemen befassen sich mit den theoretischen Grundlagen binärer Entscheidungsgraphen. Insbesondere sollen die wichtigsten Operatoren und Algorithmen auf BDDs vorgestellt und hinsichtlich ihrer theoretischen Komplexität untersucht werden.

Registration

Registration via Opal is required until October 19.

Prerequisites

Besides an interest in theoretical computer science, the Proseminar requires solid foundations in algorithms and data structures as well as mathematics as covered in the first two semesters of the study program.

Dates

All participants registered in Opal by the due date will be notified about the initial meeting by e-mail. Each participant will then be assigned a topic and a supervisor. After that, further proceedings are arranged individually between each participant and their supervisor.

The required presentations will be held en bloc between January and March 2027. The specific dates will be announced later.

The written paper is due by March 14, 2027.

Examination

Bachelor Informatik (PO 2025)

Bachelor Angewandte Informatik (PO 2025)

Diplom Informatik (PO 2025)

The Komplexe Leistung (complex or multi-part examination) consists of a 30-minute presentation taking the form of a colloquium and a 10-page seminar paper.
