Winter 2019

This seminar will be in the form of work-in-progress sessions (WIPS). Each meeting will be an hour long session in which a student working in the area of computer systems will present their research work and get feedback from other students and faculty. Each presentation will be roughly 25-30 minutes; the remaining time will be used for questions and discussion. If you interested in research in the area of computer systems, then you will benefit from attending and participating in this seminar.
 

Description

This weekly seminar on Network Science will focus on the topic of causality. Seminar participants will be asked to present and discuss the findings of a relevant paper. They may choose from a list to be provided, or select another paper.

What might a secure yet practical computer system look like in the future?   Machines are changing rapidly (SGX and RISC V for example) and attacks are exploiting new hardware/software interactions (e.g.

This course brings the intensively researched area of human memory in neuroscience (and, within this, the field of unconscious memory) together with the rich elaborations of the unconscious in the world literary archive and with new cognitive models emerging from the accelerating field of artificial intelligence. By situating key neuroscientific findings on ‘unconscious memory’ within cross-cultural representations of memory in the world literary archive, it will introduce students to the dynamical relations between brain, body and culture.

 

Faculty

Course Description: In this course students learn basics about the Internet of Things, what it is, why this is happening now and a number of important software platforms, protocols (e.g. MQTT or CoAP) as well as important application verticals such as smart city, eHealth and smart agriculture.
Area: Systems
 

Computer Science 180 (Computer Graphics or equivalent)

This course gives an 
introduction to quantum computing with an emphasis on the computer science part of the field. 
Topics that will be covered are: elementary quantum mechanics, quantum information, quantum gates and circuits, quantum circuit complexity, teleportation, quantum cryptography, Shor's quantum algorithm for factoring integers and discrete logarithms, Grover's quantum searching algorithm, lower bounds in quantum computation, and the future of the field
