COMP SCI 4411 - Event Driven Computing

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2025

Event-driven systems are the backbone of modern computer systems and services. This course explores the fundamental principles behind these systems; Finite State Automata, their behaviour and implementation; Correspondence with regular expressions; Examples of embedded systems; Introduction to interconnected state machines, Petri Nets, and concurrency. We'll also explore modern approaches to event-driven systems; Reactive Programming; event streams, and observable data.

  • Assessment

    The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    Assessment Related Requirements
    Additional Assessment: The Project is mandatory: a submission must be made within one week of the relevant due date or any opportunity for an additional assessment may be denied.
    Assessment Detail
    Detailed descriptions of all assessments will be available on the course website.

    If you hand in your work late, your mark will be capped, based on how many days late it is.

    –1 day late – mark capped at 75%
    –2 days late – mark capped at 50%
    –3 days late – mark capped at 25%
    –more than 3 days late – no marks available
    Submission
    All practical assignments must be submitted using the School of Computer Science online Submission System. All details are included in each assignment description on the course website.

    In the case of automatic testing, if you hand in your work late, you will miss the test-runs, and deprive yourself of vital evidence that might help you debug your program. Start early, test often!
    Course Grading

    Grades for your performance in this course will be awarded in accordance with the following scheme:

    M10 (Coursework Mark Scheme)
    Grade Mark Description
    FNS   Fail No Submission
    F 1-49 Fail
    P 50-64 Pass
    C 65-74 Credit
    D 75-84 Distinction
    HD 85-100 High Distinction
    CN   Continuing
    NFE   No Formal Examination
    RP   Result Pending

    Further details of the grades/results can be obtained from Examinations.

    Grade Descriptors are available which provide a general guide to the standard of work that is expected at each grade level. More information at Assessment for Coursework Programs.

    Final results for this course will be made available through .

  • Student Feedback

    The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Policies & Guidelines

    This section contains links to relevant assessment-related policies and guidelines - all university policies.

  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
