KK24403 MODELS OF COMPUTATIONPrerequisites: KT24103Students will study the oldest topic in computer science, theoretic computing machines, with the goal of determining what such machines can compute and what they cannot compute. They will learn about formal languages, automata, and complexity, noting their applications in a variety of areas, such as performance analysis, compiler design, and feasibility studies. In this course, student will look at simplified, mathematical models for different kinds of computers. They vary by how much memory they have and how they can access it. A finite state machine has a fixed amount of memory, a pushdown automaton has an infinite amount of memory, but it can only access it by pushing a value onto its stack or popping a value off of the stack, and it only has one stack. A Turing machine has also has an infinite amount of memory, organized as a long tape with a head that can scan back and forth on it. These models are chosen because they have simple descriptions, and for each kind of machine we can show that there are clearly defined classes of things that they can and cannot do.

KK44303 FORMAL METHODS IN SOFTWARE ENGINEERINGPrerequisites: KK24203, KT14403 Critical software development like modern aircraft software and medical treatment software are usually involves a plan-based software process that is based on the waterfall model of development where the emergent properties such as safety, reliability and security are very important. The failure of the critical system will results in significant economic losses, physical damage and threats to human life. Thus, formal methods in software development is necessary to check and analyse the system requirements and design carefully and in more details as well as to discover specification errors effectively, presenting the software specification in an ambiguous way and remove any imprecision requirements. This course is designed to train the students on how formal techniques can be applied in software specification, design, analysis and verification. It covers the propositional logic, syntactical grammars, theorem proving, formal object modelling, finite state machines, formal design analysis, UML validation and formal model verification.

KK44603 SOFTWARE VERIFICATION AND VALIDATIONPrerequisites: KK24103The validation and verification of software systems is a major issue in the IT industry. Software testing is critical element of software quality assurance and represents the ultimate review of a system’s source code with the intent of discovering bugs. A perfect software product is built when every step is taken with full consideration that ‘a right product is developed in a right manner’. Software verification and validation helps the software developer and test engineer to confirm that a right product is built in the right way throughout the development process. This course is designed to train the students on the software testing techniques such as white-box testing, black-box testing, software inspections and reviews, safety analysis, statistical testing and reliability analysis and fault tolerance.

This course provides a detailed examination of wired and wireless LAN technologies, protocols and the methods used for implementing LAN based enterprise intranets. In routing and switching technologies will explain various aspects of internet working behaviours by critically re-discussed on topics of Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) Reference model, bridges, switches, hubs, Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs), connection-based and connectionless networks. It will emphasize on the internetworking protocols, including packet format, addressing, routing and security. Meanwhile for IPv6 Technologies, an explanations and illustrates all commonly used network communication protocols, including TCP/IP, WAN, LAN technologies covering the latest and emerging technologies such as VOIP, SAN, MAN, VPN/ Security, WLAN, VLAN, Optical Network and more Addresses vendor specific technologies: Cisco, IBM, Novell, Sun, HP, Microsoft, Apple, etc. It also provides a succinct, in-depth tour of all the new features and functions in IPv6.

KP00603 MOBILE APPLICATION DEVELOPMENTPrerequisite: KK14203This course defines and discusses wireless application provisioning systems and application development issues. This course focuses on the CLDC and MIDP, which supports personal, mobile, independent devices like mobile phones. This is a step-by-step guide to successful wireless application design and development with Sun’s Java 2 Micro Edition platform. It covers every key feature of the J2ME platform, and every step of the process from architecture through deployment. It begins by introducing the J2ME computing platform, key terminology, basic concepts, and application development process. XML and ASP. Net will also be introduced.

KP00703 DATA ENCRYPTIONS AND CRYPTOGRAPHYPrerequisite: KT14303The course introduces the principles of number theory and the practice of data encryption and cryptographic algorithms. The focus is on definitions, theoretical foundations and rigorous proofs of security. The course covers cryptographic primitives such as symmetric encryption, public key encryption, digital signatures and message authentication codes; cryptographic protocols such as key exchange, remote user authentication and interactive proofs; cryptanalysis of cryptographic primitives and protocols such as by side-channel attacks, differential cryptanalysis or replay attacks and cryptanalytic techniques on deployed systems such as memory remanence, timing attacks and differential power analysis.
