3 Units

OPTIMIZATION: TECHNIQUES AND APPLICATIONS

COMPSCI 735

The course takes a unified view of optimization, covering the main areas of application and the main optimization algorithms. The topics include linear optimization, robust optimization, network flows, discrete optimization, dynamic optimization and nonlinear optimization. The course involves learning about, using, and analyzing the results of state of the art optimization software.


3 Units

ALGORITHMS IN THE REAL WORLD

COMPSCI 738

This course will focus on some of the most widely used algorithms and data structures in the "real world", in light of tackling large volumes of data for which classical algorithms are sometimes inadequate. This has led to new techniques that are not only theoretically intriguing, but have a wide range of practical applications.


3 Units

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.


3 Units

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.


3 Units

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.


1-6 Units

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.


1-3 Units

INDIVIDUAL STUDIES

COMPSCI 798

Study of a selected topic or topics under the direction of a faculty member.


1-6 Units

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.
