COMP8123 Advanced Topics in Computer Applied 3 45 hrs ---
Technology
This module is to provide students the mathematical and programming concepts, notions,

and languages for the abstraction, generalization, and formalization of their ideas, methods,
and approaches in common computer application technologies. The module is divided into
three parts. It first introduces the fundamentals of functional analysis to deal with vector
spaces and approximation problems typically found in deep learning. Then, it goes through
key components of functional programming to promote high order functions and
composability, which are essential in abstraction and generalization of operations and
processes. Finally, it presents the key ideas of category theory with a highly abstract view of
objects and transformations in general domains. The module aims at equipping the students
with the foundation and universal tools and notations for thinking, expressing, and discussing
topics related to computer science and applications.
COMP8299 Thesis 21 --- ---

The doctoral thesis aims to allow students, by tackling advanced research problems over
diverse settings, to significantly contribute to the expansion of knowledge in the field of
Computing, especially in computer applied technology and produce a coherent body of work
that is of scholarly value and worthy of publication. The work must be original and be the
student’s own. There must be evidence that the field has been thoroughly surveyed by the
student with critical exposition of relevant works, clearly demonstrating the mastery of a
body of knowledge in the field and strong analytical skills. Students are responsible for
ensuring that the thesis is presented in a clear, accessible and consistent format. Good
project management practices and effective writing skills are essential to the successful
completion of the thesis.
COMP8172 Technical and Scientific --- 162 hrs ---
Communication (total hrs)
The Technical and Scientific Communication is arranged in three sub-modules. Module I
covers general aspects of the writing and communication process and will be addressed using
master classes to present the concepts, making abundant use of examples of writing and
communication in the context of computer engineering research. Module II focuses on
training the different types of writing (writing modes) using intensively peer review as an
element of evaluating students' progress. Module III addresses non-verbal communication
in the context of training different types of presentations. Videos and visualization of
recordings made by students will be used to encourage discussion about the most effective
strategies for presentations. A blended-learning strategy will be used throughout the
module, complementing face-to-face classes with activities developed through distance
tools. The assessment consists of small writing, oral communication and peer review projects
carried out throughout the year and covering the entire subject covered in the module.
