3100 Parallel Computer Systems<br />

ЕCTS credits: 4<br />

Weekly classes: 3lec+0sem+0labs+3ps<br />

Assessment: exam<br />

Type of exam: written<br />

Department involved:<br />

Department of Computing<br />

Abstract:<br />

Architectural aspects of parallel computer systems as separate class of computer architectures are addressed.<br />

The requirements of parallel computer structures are formulated at the very beginning. The classification of such<br />

systems is given. Canonical structures and topologies are defined as well.<br />

The communicating sequential processes CSP of C.A.R. Hoare is used as base parallel computing model.<br />

Two main practical implementations of the CSP model are given – the regular computing structure and mass<br />

parallel transputer system. Special attention to the organization of communication subsystem and inter-node<br />

communication primitives is given.<br />

Course content:<br />

General terms. Classification of parallel computer systems. Canonical structure of parallel computer system.<br />

Examples of MIMD systems. Regular computing structure. Transputers. Historical perspective.<br />

Teaching and assessment:<br />

The lectures introduce main theoretical topics. Each group of lectures ends with conclusion of material and<br />

formulation of problems.<br />

At the practice sessions simulations and real systems are used putting lectures to practice. Each session begins<br />

with formulation and analysis of problems. At the very end the students are asked to summarize in written form<br />

their results.<br />

The information materials needed are given in electronic form to all of the students.<br />

3101 <strong>Information</strong> Systems<br />

<strong>ECTS</strong> credits: 5<br />

Weekly classes: 3lec+0sem+0labs+3ps<br />

Assessment: exam<br />

Type of exam: written and oral<br />

Department involved:<br />

Department of Computing<br />

Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Automation<br />

Lecturers:<br />

Assoc. Prof. Milko Todorov Marinov, MEng, PhD, Dept. of Computing, tel.: 888 356,<br />

Abstract:<br />

The course objective is to familirise students with the main stages in the design and development of information<br />

systems (IS) as well as with the practical aspects of applying the OOP approach to the information systems<br />

development.<br />

Course prerequisites include: Programming Languages, Software Engineering, Object-oriented programming,<br />

Databases; and Programming Environments.<br />

Course content:<br />

Main problems of the IS. Life cycle of IS development using a structural approach. Structural analysis and design.<br />

Building data-flow diagrams. Organization and methods for designing codes and classifiers. Object-oriented (OO)<br />

analysis and design of IS. OO design of input and output documents. Design and organization of IS user interface.<br />

IS management. Methods for software protection. IS documenting. Geographic information systems.<br />

Teaching and assessment:<br />

The lecture topics give the main theoretic aspects of the considered problems. The practice sessions are<br />

conducted in a computer lab. The students have to independently solve, code and debug entirely or partially<br />

defined elements with the aid of a corresponding programming environment. Students’ work is evaluated at each<br />

session.<br />
