10.1.1 COSC2032—
Computer and
Internet
Forensics
The emergence of the World Wide Web in 1990s has seen a revolution in the way people
use computers and the Internet for communicating.
The Web-based multimedia document computing cluster covers the key technologies to
build systems that make effective use of this new medium now and in the future.
Individuals and organisations need to manage the flood of information on the Information
Super-highway, as well as to manage the documents that are created within the local
environment.
COSC2302 Computer & Internet Forensics explores issues related to security of computer
systems, accessing and analysing data, reconstructing events, surveillance, intrusion
prevention, intrusion detection, and recovery from breaches.
COSC1165 Intelligent Web Systems is concerned with techniques for making Web-based
systems more useful and more usable by the use of relevant artificial intelligence
techniques.
COSC1168 Internet and Intranet Document Engineering covers ways of creating, filing,
finding and reading documents that are not based on consuming lots of paper. Such
documents need to be able to be published on the Web.
COSC2304 Mobile & Wireless Computing introduces a variety of data communicating
methods and protocols in wireless and mobile environments. Students learn to employ
application frameworks for developing mobile applications, create web sites suitable for
mobile environments, and select components and networks for particular applications.
ISYS1078 Multimedia Information Retrieval covers text and multimedia information
retrieval, the principles behind Web search engines.
INTE1070 Secure Electronic Commerce covers secure e-commerce, focusing on the
principles and concepts related to computer-based, electronic transactions.
COSC1182 Usability Engineering introduces students to behavioural research methods
and techniques used in evaluating user needs and usability testing.
COSC2279 Web Services introduces students to the principles and practice of
webservices and their application in web application development.
