The KaaS Booking System is a scalable web application designed to manage access to a cluster of 32 networked Xilinx Kria KV260 FPGA development boards, which serve as a shared resource for academic experimentation and coursework. Replacing an inefficient manual spreadsheet, the new platform utilizes an API-first architecture and Microsoft OAuth to ensure secure, automated booking of these remote devices. This transformation streamlines the reservation workflow for students, eliminates data redundancy, and lays a robust foundation for future system expansions.
The CS Design Project module is one of the two final modules of the Bachelor. In the design component of this module, students show that they master the entire design trajectory, from the first informal specification of requirements by a client to the delivery and presentation of a well-documented working product. Projects are submitted by clients from either inside or outside the University. Students perform the project in groups of 3-5 students under the supervision of a teacher from the Department of Computer Science. The supervisor is also the one who assesses the process and products of the group. Project deliverables include a project proposal, a design report, a presentation and a poster.
