A course is the basic teaching unit, it's design as a medium for a student to acquire comprehensive knowledge and skills indispensable in the given field. A course guarantor is responsible for the factual content of the course.
For each course, there is a department responsible for the course organisation. A person responsible for timetabling for a given department sets a time schedule of teaching and for each class, s/he assigns an instructor and/or an examiner.
Expected time consumption of the course is expressed by a course attribute extent of teaching. For example, extent = 2 +2 indicates two teaching hours of lectures and two teaching hours of seminar (lab) per week.
At the end of each semester, the course instructor has to evaluate the extent to which a student has acquired the expected knowledge and skills. The type of this evaluation is indicated by the attribute completion. So, a course can be completed by just an assessment ('pouze zápočet'), by a graded assessment ('klasifikovaný zápočet'), or by just an examination ('pouze zkouška') or by an assessment and examination ('zápočet a zkouška') .
The difficulty of a given course is evaluated by the amount of ECTS credits.
The course is in session (cf. teaching is going on) during a semester. Each course is offered either in the winter ('zimní') or summer ('letní') semester of an academic year. Exceptionally, a course might be offered in both semesters.
The subject matter of a course is described in various texts.

NIE-BKO Error Control Codes Extent of teaching: 2P+1C
Instructor: Kubalík P. Completion: Z,ZK
Department: 18103 Credits: 5 Semester: L

Annotation:
The course expands the basic knowledge of security codes used in current systems for error detection and correction. It provides the necessary mathematical theory and principles of linear, cyclic codes and codes for the correction of multiple errors, clusters of errors and whole syllables (bytes). Students will also learn how to implement these detections and corrections for different types of transmissions (parallel, serial) when storing data in memory and when transmitting over telecommunication channels.

Lecture syllabus:
1. Error control codes - basic principles.
2. Linear codes.
3. Codes generated by a polynomial.
4. Cyclic codes, finite fields, and minimal polynomials.
5. Burst error correction codes.
6. Hardware for burst error correction methods.
7. Sums and products of codes and RM codes.
8. BCH codes.
9. Correction codes for byte errors, generalized Hamming codes.
10. RS (Read-Solomon) codes.
11. Convolutional and turbo codes.
12. Codes for arithmetic operations.

Seminar syllabus:
1. Finite fields and polynomials.
2. Linear codes.
3. Cyclic codes.
4. Test.
5. Burst error correction.
6. BCH codes.

Requirements:
Linear and abstract algebra basics, design of combinational and sequential logic circuits at the gate level.

Students who are repeatedly admitted and have successfully completed the AAK course in their previous studies may apply for a differential exam and then the MI-BKO.16 course will be recognized. However, this only applies to the field of Design and Programming of Embedded Systems, while for the field of Computer Security, the subject AAK may be recognized only as an optional subject. For latecomers: A student who lacks AAK will enroll in a BKO and undergo a differential exam. After passing the BKO.16 and the differential exam, the student will be recognized in the compulsory subject AAK. // https://courses.fit.cvut.cz/MIE-BKO/
