COMPUTER SCIENCE (CMSC)<br />
Department <strong>of</strong> Computer Science<br />
CMSC 5023 - Programming Languages<br />
This course provides a study <strong>of</strong> the underlying concepts <strong>of</strong> programming<br />
languages such as automata, grammars, translation, bindings,<br />
scope, data types, control, subprogramming, concurrency, and<br />
exception handling. Languages representing contrasting paradigms<br />
are studied. Prerequisite(s): CMSC 3613; admission to the graduate<br />
program.<br />
CMSC 5033 - Concepts Of Artificial Intelligence<br />
This course covers the basic concepts and techniques <strong>of</strong> artificial<br />
intelligence or intelligent systems. It includes an introduction to some<br />
<strong>of</strong> the s<strong>of</strong>tware packages that are used to develop expert systems.<br />
Other issues <strong>of</strong> importance in this course are natural language, pattern<br />
recognition, search strategies, knowledge representation and<br />
logical inference. Prerequisite(s): CMSC 3613.<br />
CMSC 5043 - Applications Of Database Management<br />
This course covers the integration <strong>of</strong> theory and practice in the use<br />
<strong>of</strong> current database systems and the access <strong>of</strong> those systems. The<br />
course covers the relational land E-R models for database organization.<br />
Topics included in the course are query languages (e.g. SQL),<br />
database integrity and security, file access methods, query processing,<br />
transaction processing, and backup/recovery. Prerequisite(s): CMSC<br />
2613 and MATH 2313 and (STAT 3103 or 4113) and graduate standing.<br />
CMSC 5053 - Operating Systems<br />
This course is a study <strong>of</strong> operating system concepts including<br />
concurrent processes, mutual exclusion techniques, deadlock, real<br />
and virtual memory management, job scheduling, auxiliary storage<br />
management, network operating systems and multiprocessing.<br />
Prerequisite(s): CMSC 3613.<br />
CMSC 5063 - Networks<br />
This course is a study <strong>of</strong> local and wide area networks and their<br />
implementations. Included is the theory governing layered networking<br />
architectures, the ISO-OSI communications interface, the<br />
TCP/IP protocol, packet transmission, error-correction techniques,<br />
addressing and routing, and the use <strong>of</strong> communications s<strong>of</strong>tware.<br />
Prerequisite(s): CMSC 3613.<br />
CMSC 5073 - Translator Design<br />
Translator Design introduces students to the principles, tools and<br />
techniques used in designing a programming language compiler.<br />
Topics covered include lexical, syntax, and semantic analysis, finite<br />
automata, regualar expressions, LL and LR grammars, type systems<br />
and checkers, code generation, interpreters, optimization, and code<br />
improvement. Prerequisite(s): CMSC 3613 and graduate standing.<br />
CMSC 5113 - Structured Design<br />
This course covers the elements <strong>of</strong> a discipline <strong>of</strong> program and systems<br />
design. Emphasis will be placed on the architecture <strong>of</strong> programs<br />
and systems rather than programming. Prerequisite(s): CMSC 3613.<br />
CMSC 5123 - Advanced Microcomputer Applications<br />
This course is a survey <strong>of</strong> the installation and programming <strong>of</strong> microcomputers<br />
using microcomputer based operating systems with<br />

ports, using internal operating system commands and utilities, and<br />
installing vendor provided s<strong>of</strong>tware.<br />
CMSC 5133 - Theory Of Data Base Systems<br />
This course covers the concepts, principles, implementation practices,<br />
and guidelines for the selection and installation <strong>of</strong> data base<br />
systems. Topics include choosing a dictionary, the relational approach,<br />
the hierarchical approach, and the network approach. There will be<br />
some discussion <strong>of</strong> security and integrity comparison. Prerequisite(s):<br />
