Courses
Algorithms and Analysis
The study of algorithm paradigms, including divide-and-conquer, greedy methods, dynamic programming, backtracking, and randomization, with an emphasis on combinatorial search. Modern heuristics such as genetic programs and simulated annealing. String processing including matching and longest common subsequence. Advanced sorting. Constraint satisfaction, hill climbing, and optimization. Combinatorial objects such as permutations, combinations, subsets, and partitions. Graph algorithms. Computational geometry. Recurrences and the Master Theorem.
Online and Decentralized Algorithms
In this distributed computing course, we'll explore how knowledge (about the environment, other agents in a multi-agent system, the future, etc.) affects computational strategies. Topics will include: Distributed vs. Decentralized Algorithms, Online vs. Offline Algorithms, Knowledge Models, Competitive Analysis, Cooperative Mobile Agents, Blockchain/Distributed Ledger Technology.
