After an intensive introduction into the programming language XL, which combines Java with possibilities of graph transformation and thus links the rule-based with the object-oriented and imperative paradigm, the participants will (under supervision) implement diverse well-known algorithms, especially from graph theory and geometry, by using the rule-based constructions from XL. These small projects, which are to be done in teams, will serve also for the evaluation of XL and for the development of improvement proposals for language design. For each implementation we expect a documentation, an evaluation report and a final presentation. The participants should try to become acquainted with the (uncommon) rule-based programming paradigm. Diploma, Bachelor and Master courses in Computer Science (direction Practical Computer Science).
4 credits.

Reviews from recent literature will be given. Topic are current methods of generative graphics and issues of modelling and representation of natural objects, particularly vegetation. M.Sc. courses Computer Science and IMT and diploma course Computer Science.
4 credits.
