Graduate classes, Fall 2011, Computer Science
| CS 524: Theory Of Computing | Credits: 4 | − Description | − Sections |
Content: This course gives mathematical methods to classify the complexity of computational problems. Topics include regular languages, grammars, decidability, NP-completeness, and corresponding models of computation. Texts: Introduction to the Theory of Computation, by Sipser. Course Technology. ISBN 10: 0534950973. Assessments: TBA Prerequisites: CS 124 and 253. | | 000 | MSC: W303 | MWF 10:40am - 11:30am | Michelangelo Grigni | max 25 | | CS 540: Software Engineering | Credits: 4 | − Description | − Sections |
Content: Software engineering as a discipline has evolved in conjunction with computer hardware and programming tools. Despite its infancy, SW Engineering has some fundamental processes that are recognized as essential to the production of quality software that meets customer requirements. Both the ACM (as "SE2004") and the IEEE (as "Software Engineering Body of Knowledge" or "SWEBOK") have defined a set of skills that practitioners of software development should possess. These include Requirements, Design, Construction, Testing, Quality Control, and Configuration Management. This course seeks to teach principles of software engineering through hands-on experience in a series of projects. In addition, the student will be introduced to applied concepts in software engineering through the blogs and writings of some of today's most noted practitioners.

Content: Systems programming topics will be illustrated by use of the Unix operating system. Topics include: file i/o, the tty driver, window systems, processes, shared memory, message passing, semaphores, signals, interrupt handlers, network programming and remote procedure calls.
Programming examples and assignments will illustrate the system interface on actual computer hardware. All assignments will be in written in C. The department's computing lab will be used in the course to allow students to get hands-on experience with operating system and hardware topics that cannot effectively be pursued on a central timesharing computer.

Content: An introduction to the algorithms and data structures used to construct a high level language compiler. Topics include: formal language specification, lexical analysis, parsing, and code generation. Texts: TBA Assessments: TBA Prerequisites: CS 253, CS 255, and CS 424, or their equivalents. A substantial portion of this course will involve a student project to construct a compiler for a simplified programming language. Working knowledge of C or C++ is highly recommended. | | 000 | MSC: W301 | MW 3:00pm - 4:15pm | James Lu | max 15 | | CS 584: Topics in Computer Science: Introduction to Biomedical Informatics | Credits: 4 | − Description | − Sections |

Content: This seminar will concentrate on effective teaching techniques in computer science. Topics included will include:
General advice for new TA's. General advice for International TA's. Students will present several practice lectures over different levels of material. They will receive practice on quiz and test preparation. Syllabus information on courses most likely to be taught by new TA's will be supplied. General professional development information will also be included.

Content: Computer Science and Informatics PhD students are required to complete two rotation projects prior to their qualifying exams and dissertation research. Projects often involve interdisciplinary work, and can be co-supervised by a Math/CS faculty and an external faculty member or researcher (e.g., Schools of Medicine and Public Health, the CDC). Students are required to submit a project proposal and a final report.
