THIS DEPARTMENT ENFORCES UNDERGRADUATE PREREQUISITES. Please note that the registration system may not factor in transfer work when determining if prerequisites have been met. If you are unable to register for a course and think you have met the prerequisite(s), please contact an advisor from this department to inquire about obtaining a permission code. You may be administratively dropped from a course if the prerequisite has not been met.
Attention: Classroom assignments may change between the time you
register and when classes begin. Please check your class schedule for the latest classroom location
information before attending class.

CS 4960 - 001 Machine Learning Security
'C-' or better in CS 3190 Found. of Data Analysis AND CS 3500 Software Practice. Full Major status in Computer Science OR Software Development OR Data Science. Machine learning (ML) has been widely integrated into various real-world systems, such as facial recognition, object detection, and autonomous driving. However, the security and safety of these ML-based systems are still of great concern, as adversaries can easily manipulate their behaviors. This course will provide an introduction to the intersection of two ubiquitous concepts: security and machine learning. It will cover key learning algorithms and techniques, the security problems of modern ML models (i.e., adversarial attacks and backdoor threats), practical defense solutions against various attacks, and more.

CS 4962 - 001 Sustainable Computing
We are witnessing exponential growth in computing hardware along with resource-intensive applications such as HPC and AI/ML workloads. This is increasing the environmental footprint of computing, risking global sustainability. In this course, we will first understand how computing affects various sustainability metrics like carbon footprint, water footprint, impact on public health and biodiversity. Next, we will discuss strategies for designing hardware and scheduling algorithms for data centers and other large scale computing platforms to reduce computing's environmental footprint. We will focus on developing energy-efficient software and making existing LLMs, HPC, and AI applications sustainable. Finally, we will look into emerging frontiers in sustainable computing, including space-based and quantum systems, as long-term solutions. This course assumes a background in computer systems and architecture. Prerequisite: CS 3810 and Full Major Status in Kahlert School of Computing.

CS 4963 - 001 Alg Foundations of Robotics
Prereqs: CS 3500 AND MATH 1220 AND MATH 2270 AND CS 3130. Algorithmic Foundations of Robotics explores the algorithms that help robots operate in the real world from autonomous cars to manipulators in factories. It covers a range of topics including forward/inverse kinematics, motion planning, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), and optimal control. Students will learn about the algorithms and mathematical principles that enable robots to perceive, reason, and act in the world. By the end of the course, students will have an understanding of the fundamental concepts that drive robotic systems, and will be equipped with the skills to design and implement their own robotic algorithms.

CS 6530 - 001 Adv. Database Systems
This graduate-level course covers the design and implementation of relational database system kernels and advanced data management techniques. Topics include relational models, SQL, indexing (in-memory, learned), storage (row vs. column stores), and query processing. It also explores AI-driven database optimization, automatic database tuning (self-driving databases), transactions, concurrency control, logging, and recovery. The course discusses modern application of AI in DBMS, focusing on self-optimization, security, NLP for database queries, and human-centric data management. Additional topics include differential privacy, probabilistic databases, data provenance, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), vector databases, data lakes, and query result diversification. Ethical considerations in data management are also discussed. Students will engage in hands-on projects, implementing core database modules and exploring modern large-scale data management techniques. Please note that this is NOT a course on building database applications and introduction to database systems, i.e., we will not cover in this course how to build a database application (e.g., ER design, schema refinement, functional dependency, and database application development). Such topics will be covered in CS 5530. Also, this course will have almost no overlap with the special topics course Human-centered Data Management (CS 3960/6959).

CS 6958 - 001 Machine Learning Security
Machine learning (ML) has been widely integrated into various real-world systems, such as facial recognition, object detection, and autonomous driving. However, the security and safety of these ML-based systems are still of great concern, as adversaries can easily manipulate their behaviors. This course will provide an introduction to the intersection of two ubiquitous concepts: security and machine learning. It will cover key learning algorithms and techniques, the security problems of modern ML models (i.e., adversarial attacks and backdoor threats), practical defense solutions against various attacks, and more.

CS 6962 - 001 Sustainable Computing
We are witnessing exponential growth in computing hardware along with resource-intensive applications such as HPC and AI/ML workloads. This is increasing the environmental footprint of computing, risking global sustainability. In this course, we will first understand how computing affects various sustainability metrics like carbon footprint, water footprint, impact on public health and biodiversity. Next, we will discuss strategies for designing hardware and scheduling algorithms for data centers and other large scale computing platforms to reduce computing's environmental footprint. We will focus on developing energy-efficient software and making existing LLMs, HPC, and AI applications sustainable. Finally, we will look into emerging frontiers in sustainable computing, including space-based and quantum systems, as long-term solutions. This course assumes a background in computer systems and architecture.
