  3. Computer Networks by Minaxi Gupta, Computer Science Fall 2007: CSCI P538 (3 credits) “Computer Networks” Time/Venue: Tue, Thu 9:30am-10:45am in GL101 Textbook: “Computer Networks: A Systems Approach” by Peterson and Davie, 4th edition The goal of this course is to learn about computer networks. We will do so by understanding how computer networks work today and why they are designed the way they are. The course will primarily focus on the Internet but will also cover other past and present network technologies to put things in perspective. • The course emphasizes practice. The programming projects are derived from real-world operational and security issues facing today’s Internet. Course load: 6-8 assignments, 2 exams, 3-5 projects to be done in groups of two ~20 Students (mostly from CS and Informatics) • P538 is jointly offered with P438 this year Overview of Network & Complex Systems Courses at IUB.

  8. The Semantic Webby John Paolillo, SLIS/Informatics SLIS L597 Topics In Library and Information Science, 3 credits Thursdays, 5:45-8:30 PM, LI 002 Format: Lecture/discussion; lab; student presentations. This course covers: • Aims and goals of the Semantic Web • Technologies used in implementing the Semantic Web • Markup languages (XML, RDF) • Vocabularies (RDF-S, OWL, FOAF, RSS, etc.) • Metadata standards (W3C) • Query languages (RDQL and related) • Platforms for storage and use of SW data (Sesame, SWI-Prolog) • Applications of Semantic Web data • Weblogs, online communities, social networking sites, folksonomies, multimedia, etc. • Emergent Semantics of Metadata • What is the ultimate outcome of the adoption of Semantic Web technologies? Course structure: Readings, exercises in using and processing Semantic Web data, final project and presentation.

  12. Seek and Find: Search strategies inspace and timeby Peter Todd, Informatics/Cognitive Science Informatics I400/I590 Topics course (grad/undergrad), cross-listed in Cognitive Science; Tu-Th 1-2:15 pm, Informatics 107; 3 credits Format: Discussion of papers; presentations led by students. This course covers: • Strategies that humans (and other animals) use to decide where and how to search and when to stop searching, in a variety of domains including: • …foraging for food in the wild • …foraging for information on the Web • …shopping for a bargain • …looking for a parking space • …seeking a job • …searching for a mate • Emergent patterns that arise when many individuals look for things at the same time • Co-adaptation of strategies for searching and strategies for hiding (or being found) • How computational tools can be built using these ideas to help people do a better job at finding what they seek. Course structure: Students read papers for each class and come up with discussion questions for each one, and research and present a particular topic on search and develop a Wiki page on that topic. Papers will be distributed in class. Class webpage in OnCourse CL Overview of Network & Complex Systems Courses at IUB.

  13. Biological and Artificial Neural Networksby John Beggs, Physics P 582: Biological and Artificial Neural Networks, 3 credits Format: Three weekly classes, regular homework, and a final project presentation. Meetings: Mon, Wed, Fri 1:25p-2:15p in Swain West 218 Text: Neural Networks, an introduction, by Muller, Reinhardt, and Strickland We will first cover the biological details of neurons that are thought to be computationally relevant. Next we will explore major artificial neural network theories and models, many of which draw from statistical physics. Finally, we will cover experimental data from living neural networks and critically evaluate neural network theories that claim to describe biological phenomena.
