ECE 498 class schedule data for spring 2012
	CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
	55697	Laboratory Lecture	HP HP	ARRANGED 3:00PM -4:20PM	n.a. MW	Location Pending 106B6 Engineering Hall	Polychronopoulos, C Hu, Y Polychronopoulos, C Hu, Y	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/17/12-05/02/12 Credit: 4 hours Section Info: Topic: Extending Mobile Computing Through Cloud Computing. Prerequisities: One of ECE 391, ECE 428, ECE 438, CS 242, or equivalent. This is a project course in which students design around the fundamental limitations of mobile computing devices, focusing on the network-connected smartphone. Existing smartphone processors have limited computational abilities and battery power, yet users are increasingly expecting full desktop-style application functionality. Recent advances in cloud computing help create a solution to this apparent impossibility, by harnessing the computing power of the cloud and the portable convenience of the mobile device. This course will look at the design, architecture, and engineering of cloud-reliant applications on mobile devices.
	51167	Laboratory Lecture	SL SL	ARRANGED 11:00AM -12:20PM	n.a. TR	Location Pending 106B8 Engineering Hall	Lumetta, S Lumetta, S	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/17/12-05/02/12 Credit: 4 hours Section Info: Topic: Engineering Parallel Software. Prerequisites: ECE 391 or CS 241. Explores the evolution of programming languages as an engineering process and examines the challenges that face the hardware and software industries with increasing numbers of processors on a chip. Using C++ as a focal point, examines the expression and implementation of abstractions such as access control, inheritance, templates, and exception handling, identifying both the advantages and the potential pitfalls of these tools. Provides hands-on experience with tools and techniques through programming assignments. Describes challenges posed by parallelism, attempts to address those challenges, and why proposed solutions have not been adopted by the broader industry.
