IS- Complexity Theory

Group study of the textbook "Computational Complexity: A Modern Approach" by Arora and Barak. Students will prepare and present material from this book in each lecture, on a rotating basis. Evaluation will be based on the individual presentations -- no exams, possible problem sets. Does not count toward the CS or INFORM Major.

Mobile and Wireless Networks

This course covers both the principles and the practice of mobile and wireless networks. Topics will include application use cases, the unique aspects of the wireless (as opposed to wireline) links, and approaches for handling mobility, authentication, security and privacy, energy management, user localization, and virtualization in mobile and wireless networks. The focus of 'practice' will cover the overall architectures (both control plane and data plane) of 802.11 (WiFi) networks and 4G/5G cellular systems; Bluetooth, satellite, and IoT networks will also be briefly covered.

Honors Project

Honors Project expectations are high. The intended end-product is a traditional project manuscript with accompanying artifact(s), all projects: - are 6 credits or more of sustained research on a single topic, typically conducted over two semesters. - begin with creative inquiry and systematic research. - include documentation of substantive scholarly endeavor. - culminate in an oral defense or other form of public presentation.
