OPERATING SYSTEMS IN PRACTICE
COMPSCI 724
A hands-on study of techniques for managing resources, providing concurrency, enabling communication, and ensuring reliability and security in modern operating systems. Students will write multithreaded programs and implement portions of an operating system. Experience with the C programming language is helpful, but not required.
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.
BIG DATA AND DATA MINING
COMPSCI 767
This course will cover two main areas: (1) machine learning algorithms that can be applied to "big data" (i.e., data sets of great size and complexity); and (2) distributed file systems and MapReduce as tools to generate algorithms, along with associated hardware innovations to facilitate parallel analysis of big data.
ADVANCED SOFTWARE ENGINEERING
COMPSCI 776
This course introduces fundamental software engineering principles and techniques. Students will apply these principles and techniques throughout the course as they work together in teams to develop a software product. Students will also learn about current software engineering research and discuss current issues in the software industry.
CAPSTONE PROJECT
COMPSCI 789
Under faculty supervision, the student will develop, extend, or modify a significant piece of software or a system with significant software components. The student will also write a technical report and give a presentation describing the software product as well as the development process. Fulfills the Applied Research Project option for graduation. Pass/Fail grade basis only.
SPECIAL STUDIES
COMPSCI 796
Group activity. Not offered regularly in the curriculum but which is offered on topics selected on the basis of timeliness, need and interest, and generally in the format of regularly scheduled bulletin offerings.
