IMAGE PROCESSING AND COMPUTER VISION
COMPSCI 736
This course provides a broad introduction to image processing and computer vision. Topics include but not limited to image formation and perception, quantization, contrast enhancement, Fourier transform, compression and restoration, feature extraction and segmentation. Particular focus will be on the theoretical understanding of these methods, as well as their practical applications. The students will use MATLAB to write code.
CRYPTOGRAPHY AND SECURITY PROTOCOLS
COMPSCI 755
This course focuses on the cryptographic solutions to security issues related to confidentiality, integrity, and authentication in networks. The main contents include block cipher and operations; stream cipher; public key cryptography; cryptography-based security protocols in authentication and key management; network, transport, and application layer security in the Internet; and applications of cryptography on security protocols in emerging fields of computing.
SOFTWARE SPECIFICATION AND VERIFICATION
COMPSCI 778
An overview of languages, logics, techniques, and tools used to specify, analyze, and verify software systems. Students apply these formal methods to model software systems and verify their correctness, study industrial applications of formal methods for critical software components, and research new developments in this area.
THESIS RESEARCH
COMPSCI 799
Guided investigation of an approved thesis topic. Students may receive credit for research activities planned in conjunction with their advisers and leading to the completion of a master¿s degree. Students must complete a Thesis Proposal Form in the Graduate Studies Office before registering for this course.
