Taking on a graph-based view on purely structural RNA alignment leads to an independent set problem. The goal of this thesis is to study the special structure of the problem instances arising from the RNA application and to develop (practically) efficient algorithms.
The algorithms should be implemented within the software library LiSA. LiSA is a C++ library, a large part of which deals with computational RNA analysis.The algorithm should be compared to state-of-the-art tools (testing environment available within LiSA) on different, meaningful input. The thesis should describe all efforts in a sound, scientific way and document the theoretical investigations as well as the computational results properly.

I encourage writing theses in English language. This is no strict rule, however. Presentation quality and clarity are more important than sticking to this recommendation. There is a vast amount of literature on good scientific writing. Here are just a few examples:
The final grade will largely be based on the written thesis. More precisely, the composition of the final grade is as follows: 70% thesis, 20% implementation and documentation, 10% presentations, collaboration, progress.
