In the master program for Computer Science at the University of Innsbruck, each student has to choose a special subject where you are required to obtain 22 units of special courses from one of the Streams offered by the different working groups of our institute.

The goal of the stream "Web Technologies and Internet Computing" offered by DERI in the Master program is to deepen understanding for applying intelligent methods for the development of the next generation of the Web. Besides special courses in the areas of Web Services and Semantic Web Technologies, you should also learn foundations of Artificial Intelligence and basic Reasoning Support required for successfully applying these methods in a scalable open manner useful for real world applications on the Web and in the context of the most important application areas of these new technologies: Knowledge Management, Enterprise Application Integration, and eCommerce.

You should choose our stream, if you:

Current Spezialized Subjects

The following spezialized subjects are offered by DERI in the summer semester 2006:

Title Type
Applied Ontology Engineering VU2
Programming Mobile Devices VU2
