Because key people are retiring (geraldine fitzpatrick, margit pohl) and others have retired recently, we had to change the curriculum. we tried to make the changes as unintrusive as possible (the old maxime of »as much as necessary, as little as possible), and we ended up downsizing from five to four »columns« (in the inofficial presentation) or, if you prefer legalese, from six to five compulsory »Prüfungsfächer«. More specifically, the column/prüfungsfach »Emergent Technologies« had to let go. I created a pdf showing an overview over the changes.
The official document (linked at informatik.tuwien.ac.at) includes the usual »Übergangsbestimmungen«. I created an extended and (somewhat) more understandable version of the »Übergangsbestimmungen«. Please note that these somewhat extend the original version, and if the worst comes to the worst, the legal text wins. If you feel your special case is not covered by these regulations, please contact me (peter purgathofer) and i will try to find a good solution.
