Spring 2010

ACA is a free format course and this year we will split in a research group and a project study. During the first weeks of the course students will give presentations to become acquainted with the theme. The general theme of the course this year will be on combining advanced compilers and architectures with database management systems. We meet every Tuesday at 13:45 in room 174.
