  • CMPU 375a: Networks

    1.00 Credits
    Vassar College

    Provides an introduction to the design of network-based applications. Topics include Internet protocols, client/server-based paradigms (including peer-to-peer), relational database design, data normalization techniques, SQL, and security. Web-based applications provide an infrastructure and motivation for the intersection of networks and database systems. Programming assignments and projects emphasize key concepts. Mr. Smith.

  • CMPU 377a: Parallel Programming

    1.00 Credits
    Vassar College

    An introduction to parallel computing, with coverage of parallel architectures, programming models, and techniques. Topics include SIMD and MIMD models, shared-memory and message-passing styles of computation, synchronization, deadlock, and parallel language design. Students are exposed to common techniques for solving problems in sorting, searching, numerical methods, and graph theory, and gain practical experience through programming assignments run on a parallel processing system. Mr. Smith. Prerequisite: Computer Science 203, 224.

  • CMPU 379b: Computer Animation:Art,Science and Criticism

    1.00 Credits
    Vassar College

    An interdisciplinary course in Computer Animation aimed at students with previous experience in Computer Science, Studio Art, or Media Studies. The course introduces students to mathematical and computational principles and techniques for describing the shape, motion and shading of three-dimensional figures in Computer Animation. It introduces students to artistic principles and techniques used in drawing, painting and sculpture, as they are translated into the context of Computer Animation. It also encourages students to critically examine Computer Animation as a medium of communication. Finally, the course exposes students to issues that arise when people from different scholarly cultures attempt to collaborate on a project of mutual interest. The course is structured as a series of animation projects interleaved with screenings and classroom discussions. A weekly laboratory period provides guided hands-on experience. Mr. Ellman, Mr. Roseman. Prerequisite: Permission of the instructors. Offered in Media Studies in 2008/09.

  • CMPU 395a: Special Topics

    1.00 Credits
    Vassar College

    In-depth treatment of specialized topics in Computer Science. Topic for 2007/08: Computational Linguistics. This course addresses the fundamental question at the intersection of human languages and computer science: how can computers acquire, comprehend and produce natural languages such as English Introduces computational methods for modeling human language, including morphology, syntax, semantics, and discourse;corpus-based and stochastic methods for language analysis; and natural language applications such as information retrieval, machine translation, and computational lexicography. Programming experience is recommended but not required. Ms. Ide. Prerequisite: Computer Science 101, 203 or permission of the instructor.

  • COGS 100a: and b.Introduction to Cognitive Science

    1.00 Credits
    Vassar College

    This course serves as an introduction to the multidisciplinary field of cognitive science. The course provides the historical context of the emergence of cognitive science, tracing developments in modern philosophy and linguistics, and the rise of cognitivism and neuroscience in psychology and of artificial intelligence in computer science. The basic substantive issues of cognitive science discussed include the mind-body problem, thought as computation and the computer model of mind, the role of representation in mental activity, and the explanation of mental activity via categories such as language, memory, perception, reasoning, and consciousness. The discussions of these issues illustrate the distinctive methodology of cognitive science, which integrates elements of the methodological approaches of several disciplines. The program faculty.

  • COGS 211a: Perception and Action

    1.00 Credits
    Vassar College

    (Same as Psychology 211) This course is about how systems for perceiving the world come to be coordinated with systems for acting in that world. Topics include how physical energies become perceptual experiences, systems for producing complex actions, and how it is that actions are brought under the control of perceptions. Relevant evidence is drawn from behavioral and neuroscientific studies of other species and from human infants and children, as well as from human adults. Computer models of these processes and the problem of replicating them in robots are considered. Classes include regular laboratory work. Prerequisite: Cognitive Science 100.

  • COGS 213a: Language

    1.00 Credits
    Vassar College

    (Same as Psychology 213) This course considers the rich and complex phenomenon of human language from a multidisciplinary perspective. The emphasis is on the cognitive representations and processes that enable individual language users to acquire, perceive, comprehend, produce, read, and write language. Consideration is given to the relation of language to thought and consciousness; to neural substrates of language and the effects of brain damage on language ability; to computational models of language; and to language development. Throughout, language is examined at different levels of analysis, including sound, structure, and meaning. Prerequisite: Cognitive Science 100.
