Most of the specific topics are published by supervisors (see About us) in the faculty’s Theses system. There you can find areas from which it is possible to produce threads by individual arrangement – the center of gravity of the proposal / implementation, choice of programming language, etc.). Most topics can also be created variants for different fields of study. If you are interested in the topic, contact the guarantor of that (may not coincide with the future supervisor) who will be delighted to discuss the details.

BORM Diagrams Simulation in OpenPonk Master
Reservations: 0/3
BORM [1] is a method for process modeling, which is characterized by a simple notation suitable for modelling business processes. OpenPonk [3] is a platform for conceptual modeling developed in the research group #
CCMi (
https://ccmi.fit.cvut.cz). We teach BORM in the optional subject BI-ZPI and use OpenPonk (OP) for modelling.
The aim of this work is to implement the simulation of BORM diagrams, similarly to the simulation of finite state machines and Petri nets is implemented in OP.
According to the level (Bachelor / Master), study branch and preferences of the student, we will jointly formulate a specific assignment. For the branch of Theoretical Informatics, for example, it is possible to focus more on the semantics of the simulation itself and the appropriate theoretical extensions of the BORM method (see articles [2], will be provided on request).
BORM [1] je metoda pro modelování procesů, která se vyznačuje jednoduchou notací vhodnou pro modelování business procesů. OpenPonk [3] je platforma pro konceptuální modelování vyvjíjená ve výzkumné skupině #
CCMi (
https://ccmi.fit.cvut.cz). BORM vyučujeme ve volitelném předmětu BI-ZPI a k modelování používáme OpenPonk (OP).
Cílem této práce je implementace simulace BORM diagramů, podobně jako je v OP implementována simulace konečných automatů a Petriho sítí.
Podle úrovně (BP/DP), oboru a preferencí studenta společně přizpůsobíme konkrétní zadání. Pro obor Teoretická informatika je např. možno věnovat se více sémantice samotné simulace a vhodným teoretickým rozšířením metody BORM (viz články [2], na požádání budou poskytnuty).

Using OpenPonk to Support Conceptual Modelling Research in Enterprise Engineering Master
Reservations: 1/2
The thesis is focused on supporting conceptual modelling research of Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) in collaboration with the #
CCMi research group.
The core of the research is to look at the idea of linking ORM models and models in more dedicated languages (such as DEMO or ArchiMate). From one side, an ORM model can be used to provide more (real world) meaning to an ArchiMate model (in terms of verbalisations). From the other side, starting with an ORM model, and then "colouring" this with the concepts from e.g. ArchiMate.
To show the added value of such linkages, LIST would like to do experiments using our OpenPonk platform.
The author of the thesis is supposed to develop the necessary notations and visualisations in OpenPonk with close colaboration with LIST. A stipendium to visit LIST for an internship is possible.

Reverse Engineering of Widespread Open-Source Systems Bachelor
Reservations: 1/3
This thesis topic will be further clarified after consultation with the student. The basic aim of the thesis is to apply reverse engineering methods to a selected open-source project that is widespread and non-trivial in scope (for example, Odoo, Wordpress, Joomla, Moodle, or Redmine). Reverse engineering will be applied in some of the following scenarios:
(a) creating a conceptual model according to the database schema after cleansing the implementation issues
(b) analyzing unique (non-repetitive) application logic within the system
(c) applying design patterns and violating DRY principles
(d) potentially other based on the student's ideas and expertise
In all cases, the work will include an evaluation of the open-source system in terms of the work performed and comment on possible improvements. This topic is created in collaboration with NSX (Normalized Systems).
Toto rámcové téma bude dále upřesněno po domluvě se studentem. Základním cílem práce je aplikovat metody reverzního inženýrství na vybraný open-source projekt, který je rozšířený a rozsahově netriviální (například: Odoo, Wordpress, Joomla, Moodle, nebo Redmine). Reverzní inženýrství bude aplikováno v rámci některých z následujících scénářů:
(a) vytvoření konceptuálního modelu dle databázového schématu po vyčištění od implementačních záležitostí
(b) analýza unikátní (neopakující se) aplikační logiky v rámci systému
(c) uplatnění návrhových vzorů a porušení DRY principů
(d) případně jiný scénář na základě domluvy a zkušeností studenta
Ve všech případech bude práce obsahovat zhodnocení open-source systému z pohledu provedené práce a komentář ohledně možných zlepšení. Toto téma je vytvořeno ve spolupráci s NSX (Normalized Systems).

Normalized Systems Expanders for Selected Technologies Bachelor
Reservations: 0/3
Normalized Systems Theory (NST) explains how modularity of a system should be designed in order to establish evolvability, to accommodate change and therefore to enable innovation. In practice, this theory is applied to expand enterprise information systems using code templates and with models and configurations as input. Currently, NSX develops expanders for enterprise web applications with Java and JavaScript technology stack. The task of this topic is to become acquainted with NST, NS Expanders, Prime Radiant and NS Modeler, and to design and develop expanders for different technology stack and/or different types of applications. For example, it can be used for REST APIs in Ruby, GUI-based application in Python or mobile application connecting to API. This decisions will be made based of the discussion and preferences/expertise of the student.
This topic is done in collaboration with NSX and University of Antwerp. MI-NSS course is not required but highly recommended.

Normalized Systems Models Analysis System Master
Reservations: 0/3
Normalized Systems apply concepts to eliminate combinatorial effects in software. Basically, information systems are being generated (more precisely expanded) from models and configuration. The goal of this thesis is to explore NS models and applications, design analysis of models as input data and create a system for that analysis. First, the analysis should be for change of a single application over time. It should be able to analyse similarities across different applications. Finally, it should be also able to analyse correlations in different applications over time. The results of all the analysis should be provided with appropriate visualizations. It is essential that the system for analysis is also a normalized system so it will be relevant also for the future NS applications and models.
This topic is done in collaboration with NSX and University of Antwerp. MI-NSS course is not required but highly recommended.
