Program Description

The Master of Science in Computer Science program prepares students for doctoral studies or professional employment. Students will gain both a strong understanding of the fundamentals of computer science and cutting-edge research in a variety of areas.

Departmental research strengths include:

• Artificial Intelligence (machine learning, multiagent systems, planning and problem solving),
• Bioinformatics,
• Computational Theory (computational learning theory, design and analysis of algorithms, computability theory),
• Compiler Optimization and Compilation for Parallel Machines,
• Natural-language Processing, (discourse and dialogue, generation, information extraction, summarization),
• Systems (parallel and distributed computing, grid and volunteer computing, algorithm and architecture design for massive parallelism),
• Networks (distributed computing, transport layer protocols, mobile and wireless networks, algorithm and architecture design for massive parallelism, networks management, security performance modeling, simulation),
• Graphics and Computer Vision,
• Rehabilitation Engineering (augmentative communication, speech recognition and enhancement),
• Software Engineering (program analysis and testing),
• Symbolic Mathematical Computation (algebraic algorithms, parallelization), and
• Robotics.
