Prerequisites: COSC 561
Credits: 3
Continuation of COSC 561. Advanced topics in compiler design and
construction. Automated compiler tools and compiler compilers. Advanced
code optimization techniques. Compilation of different computational models.
Role of compilers in natural language processing.

COSC 665 SOFTWARE ENGINEERING II
Prerequisites: COSC 565
Credits: 3
The course will cover software life-cycle models and different phases of the
software development process. Object-oriented techniques are applicable.
Students will have a group project on developing complex software systems.

COSC 673 ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE II
Prerequisites: COSC 573
Credits: 3
Continuation of COSC 573. Advanced topics in artificial intelligence, such as
natural language understanding, computer vision, machine learning, robotics,
neural networks, automatic theorem proving, and an in-depth look into the
design and implementation of intelligent computer systems.

COSC 675 APPLIED COMBINATORICS AND GRAPH THEORY
Prerequisites: COSC 522
Credits: 3
General enumeration methods, difference equations, generating functions.
Elements of graph theory, matrix representations of graphs, applications of
graph theory to transport networks, matching theory and graphical algorithms.

COSC 676 QUEUEING THEORY IN COMPUTER SCIENCE
Prerequisites: COSC 504 and COSC 522
Credits: 3
The development of queueing theory and the application of that theory to
discrete simulations, in general, and to computer systems, in particular. Topics
include random processes, characterization of different queueing systems, the
classical single-server exponential queueing system model, additional single
and multiple-server queueing models, including birth-death processes and
finite sources, and the assumptions and limitations of the various queueing
models. The applications of queueing theory to computer systems are
emphasized.
