A weekly seminar on Network Science, with broad topics rotating amongst these different areas: socials sciences, algorithms, biological networks, dynamics and control, and Cyberinfranstructure. The focus of the seminars in Winter will be on Innovation and taking research beyond academia. We occasionally have prominent researchers and entrepreneurs as guest speakers.
Great Presentations is a hands-on, practice-intensive course that focuses on the most important elements of excellent formal presentations. The fundamental principles discussed and practiced in class can be applied in a variety of contexts, including the short research or lab talk, the formal conference presentation, a poster presentation, a job talk, an interview, an “elevator talk,” a class presentation.
Applying and extending techniques of data mining to re-discover business process models has becoming popular in recent years. This can help not only finding process models in cases where there were typically no rigorous design for business process (e.g., case management applications), but also finding interesting unknown regularities of process models. The result of process mining can provide very useful information for improving process models and process management. Business process execution typically follow some pre-designed process models.
The Provable Properties of Mixed Hardware/Software Systems: A reading
group examining the ongoing research question of how formal analysis
techniques can be applied across the hardware/software system stack
from the microarchitecture and gate-level implementation, through the
ISA, OS, Compiler, and up to the layer of applications. Examples
include provably correct cache coherence schemes, provable security
properties in custom microprocessors, and hardware design languages
with well defined operational semantics.
The Technology and Society gateway seminar is designed to introduce graduate students who are interested in the Technology and Society Ph.D. emphasis to an interdisciplinary area of research. The gateway is required for all Technology and Society Ph.D. emphasis students. Students who have already taken the gateway course but are interested in this topic are encouraged to take the course again. CITS affiliated faculty members are also invited to participate in the seminar.
This course focuses on practical applications of and issues in Computer Security. This includes the study of exploitation techniques, software defenses, and recent developments in the field. Students will be expected to invest time, outside of class, developing an understanding of Computer Security concepts. In particular, there will be one take-home challenge per week that will be mandatory for everyone to complete.
