  • CMPSCI 401: Formal Language Theory

    3.00 Credits
    University of Massachusetts Amherst

    Introduction to formal language theory. Topics include finite state languages, context-free languages, the relationship between language classes and formal machine models, the Turing Machine model of computation, theories of computability, resource-bounded models, and NP-completeness. It is recommended that students have a 'B-' or better in CMPSCI 311 in order to attempt CMPSCI 401.

  • CMPSCI 403: Intro:Robtcs,Mchncs,Dynmcs&Cnt

    3.00 Credits
    University of Massachusetts Amherst

    This course covers basic methods and concepts in order to explain how robots work. We will study how they sense things in the world, how you make a robot move, and how robots can make their own decisions. We will study mechanisms (kinematics and dynamics), actuators, sensors, (with a focus on machine vision), signal processing, feedback control theory, machine learning, and path planning. Students will build software systems to control a simulated mobile manipulator and do experiments with system identification and control, image processing, and path planning to reinforce the material presented in class.

  • CMPSCI 410: Compiler Techniques

    3.00 Credits
    University of Massachusetts Amherst

    Basic problems in the translation of programming languages focusing on theory and common implementation techniques for compiling traditional (Pascal-like) programming languages to produce assembly or object code for typical machines. Involves a substantial laboratory project in which the student constructs a working compiler for a considerable subset of a realistic programming language within a provided skeleton. Lectures augmented by an optional (but recommended) discussion section covering details of the programming language to be used in the project (Java), the operating system (Unix), the source language (a Pascal subset) and various tools (javacup, make, etc.). Use of computer required.

  • CMPSCI 445: Information Systems

    3.00 Credits
    University of Massachusetts Amherst

    Introduction to the efficient management of large-scale data. Principles for representing information in the relational model and semi-structured data models (XML, JSON); query languages for analyzing and manipulating data (SQL and others); core systems principles for data management (file organizations, query optimization, indexing, distributed data processing, concurrency control).

  • CMPSCI 446: Search Engines

    3.00 Credits
    University of Massachusetts Amherst

    This course provides an overview of the important issues in information retrieval, and how those issues affect the design and implementation of search engines. The course emphasizes the technology used in Web search engines, and the information retrieval theories and concepts that underlie all search applications. Mathematical experience (as provided by CMPSCI 240) is required. You should also be able to program in Java (or some other closely related language).

  • CMPSCI 453: Computer Networks

    3.00 Credits
    University of Massachusetts Amherst

    Introduction to computer communication networks and protocols. Fundamental concepts in the design and analysis of computer networks. Topics include: layered network architectures, applications, network, programming interfaces, transport, congestion, routing, data link protocols, local area networks, emerging high-speed networks, network management, and network security. Examples drawn from the Internet (e.g., TCP, UDP, and IP) protocol suite.

  • CMPSCI 460: Intro Computr & Ntwrk Security

    3.00 Credits
    University of Massachusetts Amherst

    This course provides an introduction to the principles and practice of system and network security. A focus on both fundamentals and practical information will be stressed. The three key topics of this course are cryptography, system security, and network security. Subtopics include ciphers, hashes, key exchange, security services (integrity, availability, confidentiality, etc.), security attacks, vulnerabilities, exploits, countermeasures.

  • CMPSCI 491G: S-Computer Networking Lab

    3.00 Credits
    University of Massachusetts Amherst

    In this course, students will learn how to put "principles into practice," in a hands-on-networking lab course. The course will cover router, switches and end-system labs in the areas of Single Segment IP Networks, Multiple Segment IP Networks and Static Routing, Dynamic Routing Protocols (RIP, OSPF and BGP), LAN switching, Transport Layer Protocols: UDP and TCP, NAT, DHCP, DNS, and SNMP. Students will also get engaged in evaluating power consumption of network components as an aid in the design of energy efficient (green) networks.

  • CMPSCI 491IP: S-Programming the iPhone&iPad

    3.00 Credits
    University of Massachusetts Amherst

    The iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch present examples of a mobile processor with an interesting set of peripheral devices and limitations. They are programmed using Objective C and a large set of APIs. This seminar will be an introduction to the Objective C language and iOS development environment, and will include student programming assignments and development projects targeting the Apple iPhone/iPad simulator. We will spend much of the class time actually working through examples, and discovering how some of the features really work. Students will need to have access to an Intel machine running OSX, because the development environment and simulator work only on that platform. Students also must join the Apple Developer Program, and accept their license agreements in order to obtain and use the necessary software. This course counts as a CS Elective toward the CMPSCI major.
