Professional Internship 5
1&2(1.5S)
Prerequisite(s): CMPT 401, 402, 403, 404, or equivalent, or special permission of the department.

This 3 credit-unit two semester course allow internship students to share their internship experience with other students, through written and verbal reports, as well as to apply and build upon their experience through participation in suitable peer mentoring activities.

CMPT 416.3
Advanced Algorithms
2(3L)
Prerequisite(s): CMPT 360.

A continuation of the algorithms part of CMPT 360. Some of the algorithm techniques include: augmenting algorithms for network flows, matching and graph connectivity, geometric algorithms for nearest neighbour, intersection problems, and convex hull; parallel and distributed algorithms.

CMPT 417.3
Knowledge Representation and Reasoning
1(3L)
Prerequisite(s): CMPT 317, one of CMPT 340 or 360.

An introductory study of logic-based approaches to knowledge representation and automated reasoning. Topics include search techniques, constraining satisfaction problems, meta-programming, truth maintenance systems, modal logics, and situation calculus. Besides these logic-based approaches, we will also discuss uncertainty formalisms such as probabilistic causal nets and the Dempster-Shafer theory.

Introduction to VLSI Systems
1(3L)
Prerequisite(s): CMPT 321.

Emphasizes the design and issues of VLSI-based systems, analysis of subsystems design approaches, specialized VLSI chips design, and VLSI impact on architectures. Topics include: MOS technology, CMOS circuit and logic design, array structures, subsystem design, system design aspects, and new trends in VLSI design.
