EE6711 Stochastic Processes and Noise - Characterization and specification of stochastic processes as models of signal ensembles. Stationarity and ergodicity; correlation functions and power spectra. Wiener, Poisson, Markov, Gaussian processes, shot noise, Markov chains. Random signals and noise in linear and non-linear systems; linear and non-linear transfomations of random processes. Orthogonal series representation of signals. Applications to communication, control, filtering, and prediction.
EE6761 Computer Communication Networks - Focus on architecture protocols and performance evaluation of geographically distributed and local area networks. Emphasis on layered protocols. Data link layer. Network layer: flow and congestion control routing. Transport layer. Typical Local and Metropolitan Area Network standards: Ethernet, DQDB, FDDI. Introduction to internetting. Review of relevant aspects of queuing theory to provide the necessary analytical background.
COMS4118 Operating Systems I - Design and implementation of operating systems. Topics include process management, process synchronization and interprocess communication, memory management, virtual memory, interrupt handling, processor scheduling, device management, I/O, and file systems. Case study of the LINUX operating system.
