Course Description: This knowledge area consists of those skills and concepts that are essential to programming practice independent of the underlying paradigm and programming language. Specific topics covered include: an overview of algorithms and problem-solving (problem solving strategies, role of algorithms in the problemsolving process, etc), fundamental programming constructs (variables, types, expressions, simple I/O, conditional and iterative control structures, functions, recursion, pointers, etc.), fundamental and advanced data structures and related algorithms (arrays, records, strings and string processing, stacks, queues, trees and files, searching, sorting, etc). Students should acquire some understanding of data internal representation in order to write programs more efficiently. In practice the programming language used is ANSI-C, the syntax aspect of language and some pragmatic aspects such as: comparison of interpreters and compilers and language translation phases must be studied in laboratory. Course Objectives: 1. Discuss the importance of algorithms in the problem-solving process and using pseudo- code. 2. Describe the phases of program translation from source code to executable code and the files produced by these phases. 3. Design, implement, test, and debug a program that uses fundamental programming constructs. 4. Describe the internal representation of numeric and nonnumeric data. 5. Write programs that use fundamental and advanced data structures. Grading

Course Description: Web-Based Information Architectures entails the design, creation, instrumentation and usage of web sites and related indexing and searching software. The course focuses first on web-based search engines: how to use them optimally, how to design e-commerce sites that maximize customer attraction via search engines, how to analyze competition, and how to architect both topological and key-term page access paths in service of successful e-commerce infrastructures. Then, the course focuses on key technological underpinnings, primarily the hands-on creation of a search engine, including inverted-indexing, partial matching, query-expansion and spidering technology. Subsequently, the course addresses related issues in web-based information architectures, including: automated text categorization (e.g. indexing web pages into Yahoo-like taxonomies or auction-site catalogs), information extraction from web-pages, and a glimpse into larger-scale text and data mining methods. Time permitting, the course will survey issues such as multi-lingual web access and distributed information retrieval. Students will be trained on some popular Web-based systems software like: ProblemTracker, PlaceWare's Group Ware collaborative Computing. Course Objectives: The objectives of the course are: To develop and apply powerful tools to retrieve information from the Internet, to understand modern text indexing methods, how to design e-commerce sites, how to help Educators to use the web to support their own teaching, how to build a Web based Education system, to assign projects involving Web-based search engines, to focus on development tools such as Java, ASP, PHP, CGI, ASP net, etc. Grading

Course Description: A mobile ad-hoc network is a collection of wireless nodes that cooperatively form a network without using any fixed infrastructure of centralized administration. An ad hoc network is self-organizing and communications takes place mostly through multi-hop routing. Mobility of the network nodes, limited resources (e.g., bandwidth and energy supply) and potentially a large number of mobile nodes make the routing and management of ad hoc networks extremely challenging. Target applications for mobile ad hoc networks range from collaborative, distributed mobile computing (sensors, conferences, conventions) to disaster recovery (such as fire, flood, earthquake), law enforcement (crowdcontrol, search and rescue) and tactical communications(digital battlefields). Sensor networks coupled with the notion of ubiquitous computing have emerged as a new communication paradigm that promises to revolutionize information gathering and processing in urban environments and in inhospitable terrain. Integrated sensing devices permit remote monitoring in a variety of contexts: in the field (wild-life habitat monitoring; fire detection; seismic monitoring; remote monitoring & tracking of vehicles, equipment and personnel); the office and the factory (smart tags, inventory-control, motors, small robots); and, the home (automation and smart home).
Course Objectives: At the end of this course the students will have:
A broad overview of the state of wireless and mobile ad hoc networking A thorough understanding of the current and emerging applications An overview of the physical, networking and architectural issues of mobile ad hoc networks Been introduced to the key technologies that will enable the next generation of ad hoc networks and the proliferation of ubiquitous computing Been familiarized with sensor networks and the unique set of design challenges that they introduce Grading 20% Mid-term Project Quizzes Final
