Graduate Coursework Undergraduate Coursework
ECE 624 Multimedia Systems - Dr. Arif Ghafoor
This course provides a general coverage of three major areas that include multimedia data management (logical and physical modeling), broadband network architectures and protocols for distributed multimedia communication, and user interface environments. Various models and specification methodologies in these areas are introduced. The discussion is augmented with various case studies.
ECE 573 Compilers and Translators - Dr. Sam Midkiff
This course presents the concepts needed to efficiently design and implement translators. Basic compiler/translation theory and technology are briefly reviewed, after which the course focuses on software tools for the automatic construction of translators, as well as more complex concepts involving the construction of compiler symbol tables, etc. Using C on ECN UNIX, each student will construct a lexical-recognizer generator, parser generator, and code-generator.
MATH 575 Graph Theory - Dr. Stephen Weingram
ECE 647 Advanced Computer Networks - Dr Catherine Rosenberg
The mathematical background needed for the performance and stability analysis of computer communication networks is developed. Point processes, Markov processes, and queuing processes are used in the modeling and analysis of queues, interconnected queues such as ARPANET, and random multiple access networks such as Xerox's ETHERNET. Distributed control of random access networks and centralized control of queueing networks is considered. The techniques developed are useful in the design of computer systems as well as computer networks.
ECE 608 Computational Models and Methods - Dr Mithuna Thottethodi
Computation models and techniques for the analysis of algorithm complexity. The design and complexity analysis of recursive and non-recursive algorithms for searching, sorting, set operations, graph algorithms, matrix multiplication, polynomial evaluation.
ECE 565 Computer Architecture - Dr Yung-Hsiang Lu
An introduction to the problems involved in designing and analyzing current machine architectures. Major topics include performance and cost analysis, pipeline processing, vector machines and numerical applications, hierarchical memory design, and multiprocessor architectures. A quantitative approach allowing a computer system designer to determine the extent to which a design meets design goals is emphasized.
