SENG 480 Self-Adaptive and Self-Managing Systems

  • Summer 2015
  • Spring 2013
  • Summer 2010
  • The simultaneous explosion of information and integration of technology and the continuous evolution from software intensive systems to systems of systems to ultra-large-scale (ULS) systems requires new and innovative approaches for building, running and managing software systems. A consequence of this continuous evolution is that software systems must become more versatile, flexible, resilient, dependable, robust, continuously available, energy-efficient, recoverable, customizable, self-healing, configurable, or self-optimizing by adapting to changing contexts and environments. One of the most promising approaches to achieving such properties is to equip software systems with self-adaptation and self-managing mechanisms. The topic of self-adaptive and self-managing systems has been studied in a variety of application areas, including autonomic computing, robotics, control systems, programming languages, software architectures, fault-tolerant computing, and biological computing. In this course, we focus on the software engineering aspects, including the methods, architectures, algorithms, techniques and tools support self-adaptive and self-managing behavior and exciting application areas, including autonomic computing and ULS systems.

CSC 111 Fundamentals of Programming with Engineering Applications

  • Fall 2018
  • Fall 2017
  • Fall 2016
  • Fall 2015
  • Fall 2014
  • Fall 2013
  • Fall 2012
  • Fall 2011
  • Fall 2010
  • Computation is fundamental to the design, analysis and implementation of engineering systems. This course introduces the concepts of computer programming with particular attention to engineering examples. The C programming language is used but the course will stress fundamentals so that students will have a basis for understanding and using other programming languages.

CSENG 321 Requirements Engineering

  • Spring 2016
    Spring 2010
  • Summer 2009
  • Combines a range of topics integral to the analysis of requirements, design, implementation, and testing of a medium-scale software system with the practical experience of implementing such a project as a member of a software engineering team. Introduces requirements engineering, specifications, software life cycle models and formal methods for requirements engineering.

SENG 371 Software Evolution

  • Spring 2013
  • Spring 2011
  • An introduction to algorithm design and analysis. Random access machine model. Time and space complexity, average and worst case analysis, upper and lower bounds. Application of correctness proof techniques. Algorithms: internal searching, merging, sorting, selection, hashing; graphs: traversals, topological sort, transitive closure, strongly connected components, shortest path, minimum spanning tree. The existence of intractable problems, heuristics. Data structures: B-trees, heaps and graphs.
