704 Principles of Programming Languages
Credits: 3.Prerequisites: CS 536 or consent of instructor
Introduction to principles of advanced programming languages and programming-language theory. Topics include: lambda-calculus, functional languages, polymorphic functions, type inference, structural induction, lazy evaluation, operational semantics, denotational semantics, and axiomatic semantics.
706 Analysis of Software Artifacts
Credits: 3.Prerequisites: CS 536 or consent of instructor. A basic knowledge of mathematical logic is also required.
Advanced course covering various analysis techniques used in software engineering. This course will cover techniques for analyzing various software artifacts. Some of the topics that will be covered are: model checking, testing, program analysis, requirements analysis, and safety analysis.
