Requirements (Subjects that are assumed to be known)
Programming skills: - Programming - Systems Programming - Systems Architecture
Objectives
The main objective of this course is to analize the concept of "intelligence" in information and communication systems and study the main techniques that allow to incorporate "intelligent" behaviours in them. At the end of the course, the students have to study the fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence, the impact of the incorporation of intelligent mechanisms in software and hardware systems and the areas where these technologies may bring the most significant advances. Competences or specific skills that the student must acquire include: - Knowledge of the main concepts and techniques of Artificial Intelligence. - Capacity to analyze the application and feasibility of different AI techniques to solve a specific problem, and evaluate the impact on real-world systems (analysis, abstraction, problem solving and capacity to apply theoretical concepts). In addition, the student will acquire general skills: - Ability to work in teams and share and distribute the work load to deal with complex problems. - The student must learn how to plan the development of a system with a certain degree of complexity. - The student must learn how to search for useful information in different sources for the design and implementation of a given engineering problem.
