CS 4378U, Data Mining, Spring 2010
Days/Time: TH 3:30-4:50 p.m.
CS 5369U, Adv Data Mining, Spring 2010
Day/Time: H 6:30-9:20 p.m.
Instructor: Dr. Byron Gao
With the unprecedented availability of data, there is an emerging economic need to automatically discover useful knowledge from the massive data. This automatic process is referred to as data mining. Currently many major IT companies (e.g, Google, MicroSoft, Yahoo!) run data mining groups, and data mining skills are much sought after in the job market (http://www.kdnuggets.com/jobs/index.html). Data mining has been one of the fastest growing fields in computer science in the past two decades, and most major universities constantly offer data mining courses today. For example, Google co-founder Sergie Brin taught data mining at Stanford:http://infolab.stanford.edu/~sergey/.
The data mining course introduces the concepts and algorithms for various practical data mining techniqes, including data warehousing and OLAP, frequent pattern and correlation analysis, classification and predictive modeling, and cluster analysis. The course also has a thorough coverage on information retrieval and web search. It touches on other practical topics such as Web mining and bioinformatics as well.
CS 5369U serves graduate computer science students. CS 4378U serves advanced undergraduate computer science students. Students from other disciplines who need to implement or apply data mining systems will also find a data mining course to be beneficial.
Grading is based on assignments, exams, and a project targeting real-world problems.
Prerequisite: CS3358.
CS 4371 COMPUTER SYSTEM SECURITY, Spring 2010
Days/Time: TH 5:00pm-6:20pm, DERR 241
Instructor: Dr. Qijun Gu
Computer security is about protecting computer systems against danger or loss in electronic and real worlds. Computer security includes a variety of information security technologies, targeting protection of information from theft or corruption or preservation of availability.
CS 4371 will examine basic security problems and security theories and practices in computer systems. We will study the design and implementation of secure computer systems. We will investigate security issues in networking, operating systems and various computer systems.
CS 4371 is where you will find a new and unique perspective of what you have learned in other computer courses. You will understand attacks in order to become a better defender. You will have an opportunity to experiment with attack and defense tools in a lab equipped with real security hardware and software.
The grading of CS 4371 will be based on homework assignments, mid-term and final exams, lab projects, and presentations.
Prerequisite: CS 3358
Computer Science lab coordinators are beginning the interview process for a very limited number of spring semester graduate lab assistant positions. If you are interested in applying please go to http://www.cs.txstate.edu/finance/student_jobs.php and fill out an on-line application. If you have previously filled out an on-line application you need only make sure that the information it contains is up-to-date.
