CPSC 609: Foundations of Multi-Agent Systems - Timetable
The following table gives the planned schedule for the semester for all lecture dates in the future and the really covered topics for all lectures that already have taken place (if I have the time to make the changes). You find also links to the two different formats of pdf files under the materials column (if a new file was needed for the lecture).
This table already contains the alternative lecture dates to make up for me being away at several of our normal lecture dates (as discussed and agreed on in the first lecture). The alternative dates are indicated in red. Remember, the lectures will be at 16:00 until 16:50. At two dates, we will have to do two of those, which is indicated by the lectures in the table being on the same date. All of the alternate lectures will be in ICT 616.
