CS 598 class schedule data for fall 2006
CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
43665	Lecture-Discussion	ANH	9:30AM -10:45AM	TR	1111 Siebel Center for Comp Sci	Hirani, A	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/23/06-12/08/06 Credit: 4 hours Section Info: Topic: Symplectic Integrators and Discrete Mechanics Symplectic integrators are widely used in science and engineering for numerically integrating Hamiltonian differential equations. While they have been around for decades, a relatively recent technique for deriving symplectic integrators is based on a variational approach. In this approach the variational principle, rather than the differential equations are discretized. This technique generates not just symplectic integrators but a larger class that is sometimes called variational integrators. The techniques for creating and studying such methods are firmly grounded in a geometric, variational approach to mechanics (both Lagrangian and Hamiltonian). We will carefully study a few recent papers in discrete mechanics and variational integrators. We will start with ordinary differential equations and if time permits, we will venture into multisymplectic variational integrators. Graduate students in numerical analysis, mathematics, engineering, physics and computational science may find this class useful. This will be a discussion type class. Participation in the discussions will be the major component of the grade.
42377	Lecture-Discussion	CAG	11:00AM -12:15PM	TR	1131 Siebel Center for Comp Sci	Gunter, C	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/23/06-12/08/06 Credit: 4 hours Section Info: Topic: Advanced Computer Security. Prerequisite: a 400 level course in security or consent of instructor. Research projects in security in the areas of monitoring and surveillance, critical infrastructure protection, unwanted traffic on the Internet, secure web services, tamper-resistant security architectures.
46950	Lecture-Discussion	CC	11:00AM -12:15PM	TR	1302 Siebel Center for Comp Sci	Chekuri, C	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/23/06-12/08/06 Credit: 4 hours Section Info: Topic: Approximation Algorithms. Approximation algorithms are heuristics for hard problems that have provably good guarantees on the quality of their solutions. This course will provide a broad introduction to results and techniques in this area.

Grading by participation and class project.
42393	Lecture-Discussion	HL	9:30AM -10:45AM	WF	1111 Siebel Center for Comp Sci	Luo, H	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/23/06-12/08/06 Credit: 4 hours Section Info: Topic: Advanced Topics on Wireless Networks. Prerequisite: CS 438 or equivalent. Topics: wireless communication basics, access technologies, medium access control, naming and addressing, routing and forwarding, wireless transport, mobility support and management, security, and power management. We will examine and discuss challenges and solutions to these problems in the contexts of 2/3G cellular networks, wireless LANs, ad-hoc networks, and mesh networks.
42378	Lecture-Discussion	KGK	11:00AM -12:15PM	WF	1111 Siebel Center for Comp Sci	Karahalios, K	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/23/06-12/08/06 Credit: 4 hours Section Info: Topic: Social Spaces.
35992	Lecture-Discussion	MC	11:00AM -12:15PM	TR	1111 Siebel Center for Comp Sci	Caccamo, M	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/23/06-12/08/06 Credit: 4 hours Section Info: Topic: Advanced Topics in Real-Time Embedded Systems. Prerequisite: CS 424 (Real-Time Systems), or CS 431 (Embedded System Architecture), or consent of the instructor. In this course, we will discuss topics about the design and theoretical analysis of distributed real-time embedded systems. The goal of this course is to provide a deep understanding about resource management in modern networked embedded systems composed of diverse activities with different degrees of criticality and with different forms of timing requirements. This course is structured to improve students' research skill and their ability of critical thinking. Specifically, the course will include the following topics: (T1) design of predictable and efficient soft real-time systems; (T2) real-time resource management for multi-processor platforms; (T3) principles of real-time wireless networking.
