This course focuses on the security and privacy issues in various emerging technologies e.g. participatory sensing, healthcare devices, mobile applications, internet of things, and cloud computing systems. While these emerging technologies gain more popularity, there are many unresolved issues related to confidentiality, integrity and availability of data in these emerging technologies. In this course, we will examine the system model in these emerging technologies, look into the threat models and security issues related to these systems, and explore design techniques for securing such systems. Since several of these emerging systems are still in their infancy, we will mainly study the cutting edge research published in recent conferences.

CSE 398-010 MULTI-PARADIGM SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT IN SCALA, TR 2:35-3:50, Professor James Femister
Scala is a programming language that elegantly combines two approaches to programming: the object-oriented paradigm with which we are all familiar and the functional paradigm which solves problems by composing functions. The functional approach has been around since the early days of computing but has particularly caught on in recent years. Scala programs compile down to Java byte codes which run on the Java Virtual Machine which makes it easy to combine Scala and Java classes in a single program. It has been adopted by LinkedIn, Twitter, FourSquare, Xerox and many other companies.
This course will not just teach the Scala language, but also a number of programming language concepts that are build into in the language such as partial functions, partially applied functions, currying, type variance, and pattern matching. When you finish the course you will have a power tool in your programming toolbox that will allow you to write programs that take half the number of lines of code than they would in Java and with fewer bugs. (Prerequisite: CSE 109).
