Module Elective courses 2, Media Computer Science (Bachelor) (ER 5)

Starting with clarifying the terminology of business process management, the lecture gives an introduction and analysis of various concepts for business process documentation and modeling. This includes a discussion of support through appropriate methodologies and software tools. Modern concepts such as process mining are also covered.

Using different tools, business processes are documented and subsequently simulated as part of a case study. Finally, aspects of process quality assurance, performance evaluation, and process cost accounting are addressed. Students are enabled to independently handle processes in a business environment, including documentation, modeling, and analysis.

Overview:

• The concept of processes and types of processes
• Methodologies in process management
• Process analysis (documenting processes)
• Process modeling (modifying processes)
• Tools for process modeling
• Process simulation
• Process mining
• Key performance indicators for evaluating business processes

Students will be able to develop typical algorithms used in embedded systems in the C++ programming language. Students will develop a prototypical CDMA decoder that is able to extract the bits sent by GPS satellites from a composite signal.

Practical work

Graphical-geometric algorithms solve problems based on geometric objects such as points, lines, surfaces and solids in two- or multi-dimensional space (algorithmic geometry, computational geometry). These algorithms and their underlying data structures are used in areas such as computer graphics, robotics and geoinformation systems.

Students learn about typical algorithms from algorithmic geometry, their design principles and areas of application.

They will be able to analyse and compare the algorithms with regard to their correctness, resource consumption and robustness.

Among other things, the following problems are treated as examples:

Calculation of convex hulls, intersection and distance problems, triangulation of polygons, geometric data structures such as kd-trees.

• Basics of copyright law and the relevant industrial property rights
• (IT) contract law
• AI and data protection
• Conclusion of contracts on the internet
• General legal requirements for websites
• Internet and email marketing
• Legal relationships with apps
• Special legal features of social media

First, students are given an overview of the international consulting market and learn the methodological principles of this industry as well as the main areas of work of IT consulting. Various approaches to strategy consulting, process consulting and IT system consulting are discussed, along with the respective consulting tools and methods.

Students learn in a practical way about the architectural principle of microservices, which have established themselves alongside conventional, cumbersome application servers. Using a consistent example, microservices are developed with the following platform:

• Kubernetes (incl. Helm) and Docker images for virtualisation, orchestration, service registry, etc. The products Docker Desktop Community and Lens are used as administration tools.
• Spring Boot as a framework to implement microservices with REST and also GraphQL as an interface.
• Spring Data JPA to access relational database systems with Hibernate and the Jakarta Persistence standard.
• PostgreSQL, MySQL and Oracle XE are used as relational database systems with the administration tools pgadmin, phpMyAdmin and SQL Developer and are all installed and operated in Kubernetes.
• IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate is used as the IDE. For IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate - and other JetBrains products - HKA students have been able to obtain a free licence, valid for 1 year, on the initiative of the lecturer since 2014.
• Gradle with Cloud Native Buildpacks is used as a build system.

As a result, students acquire the skills to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of microservices against monolithic architectures (WOZU).

In this course, students learn about the basic principles and technologies of mobile communication systems. After completing the course, they will be able to describe problems of mobile networks such as wireless signal transmission, media access and mobility management, identify and apply solution modules to solve these problems and evaluate existing solutions. They will also be able to analyze the characteristics and applications of various wireless systems such as WLAN, Bluetooth, mobile radio technologies (e.g. GSM, UMTS, LTE, 5G) and their underlying protocols and architectures.

The lecture covers the following topics:

• Basics of mobile communication: wireless signal transmission, multiplexing techniques, band spreading, OFDM, MIMO and multipath propagation.
• Media access: methods such as Aloha, Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA) and time-slot-based protocols.
• Mobility management: position management, handover and routing in mobile networks.
• Technologies and standards: WLAN (IEEE 802.11), Bluetooth, mobile networks (GSM, UMTS, LTE, 5G).

The course is held in a flipped classroom format. Students prepare for the live sessions independently using lecture slides and explanatory videos. In the classroom sessions, the content is deepened through case studies and practical exercises. The examination consists of an oral examination or a written exam, depending on the agreement.

The total workload is 60 hours, of which 20 hours are spent on asynchronous learning, 20 hours on face-to-face events and 20 hours on exam preparation.

This lecture introduces various concepts and areas of sound design. Besides technical basics to:

• Sound theory and waves
• Recording technology, storage and processing
• sound synthesis

creative applications of sound design like:

• Audio processing
• music and audio production
• music theory
• use and effect of sound in applications or films

will also be thematized. The lecture teaches how professional soundscapes and moods can be created to achieve desired effects.

The lecture is accompanied by exercises in which the knowledge is practically applied. The content of the assignments ranges from editing audio tracks, sound synthesis and scoring of film scenes to the development of sound brands.
