INTRODUCTION

From December 07-10 2009, the School for Information and Knowledge Systems (SIKS) organizes two basic courses "Agent Systems" and "System and Architecture modelling". Both courses will be given in English and are part of the obligatory Basic Course Program for SIKS-PhD -students. Although these courses are primarily intended for SIKS-PhD-students, other participants are not excluded. However, their number of passes will be restricted and depends on the number of SIKS-PhD -students taking the course.
