Computer Science

The business application programming area includes, among others:

• methods of effective and universal programming of business applications (including large-scale ones) in modern programming languages,
• processes of creating, deploying, and integrating distributed applications in the context of the value chain, including the use of universal technologies (e.g., JEE design patterns, new web technologies),
• paradigms and environments for building business systems – including those emphasizing the areas of Business Intelligence (BI) and Business Process Modeling (BPM).

Types of thesis projects:

A – project [+ implementation] of a system in a certain field (does something specific, serves a specific purpose)

B – analytical and research study (e.g., comparative analysis of approaches, technologies, description of tools and their applications with evaluation, comments, conclusions)

C – in-depth analysis and improvement of an approach, method, algorithm, or proposing a new method
