The objective of this course is to explain how computers are designed and how they work. Students are introduced to modern computer principles using a typical processor. They learn how efficient memory systems are designed to work closely with the processor, and how input/output (I/O) systems bring the processor and memory together with a wide range of devices. The course emphasizes system-level issues and understanding program performance. Topics include instructions sets, assembly language, internal data representation, computer arithmetic, processor data path and control, memory hierarchy, I/O devices and interconnects, and an introduction to parallel processing.

This course provides an in-depth overview of the current state of the art in high-performance computing. In addition to providing them with more information about the architecture of high performance computers.

Topics: The concept of the Theory of Computation and its significance; In addition to (grammars, mechanisms, languages, and properties).

This course considers the technical and operational issues of information and computer network security. The course investigates the threats to network security including schemes for breaking security, and techniques for detecting and preventing security violations. Emphasis will be on conventional and public-key cryptosystems and their applications to achieve various security goals.

This course aims to introduce to the students advanced topics concerning Artificial Intelligence and teaching the students a programming language related to this course.

This course introduces the students with recent topics related to the Artificial Intelligence and the latest advances in this field.

This course will introduce principles and foundations of distributed databases including: transactions, recovery, query processing and optimization, concurrency control.

The objective of this course is to familiarize students with the fundamental foundations of Object-Oriented Approach in relation to systems and advantages of this method. This course covers understanding various approaches and methodologies used in different phases of software development life cycle, including requirements, analysis and specification, software design, software construction, software maintenance, and software process.

This course teaches the advanced concepts in software engineering. In the first place it covers the concepts of sociotechnical system – a system that includes people, software, and hardware. It includes a system perspective on security and dependability. In the second place, advance software engineering concepts such as software reuse, component-based software, distributed systems, service-oriented architecture, embedded systems, and aspect-oriented systems are introduced.

This course aims to familiarize students with the modern alternative operating models such as: Distributed Processing, Parallel Processing, and Real-Time Processing.

This course aims to introduce to the students the fundamental basics of Computer Security Systems and the potential risks, and Vulnerabilities in these systems. Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)

This course aims to familiarize students with the fundamentals of performance and computer systems modelling.

This course gives students knowledge about design, development and operation of system applications.

This course aims to introduce topics related to the practical aspects of networks so that students will be able to be familiar with the various network components.

This course aims to introduce the fundamentals of TCP/IP networks and the Web. Upon finishing this course, students will gain a specialist knowledge about TCP/IP networks and the Web.

This course aims to explore the fundamentals of multimedia and the use of multimedia in user interface design. The course is intended to give students both a theoretical understanding of, and practical experience with, designing multimedia products and the user interface design.

Topics are selected from different areas in Computer Sciences that are not covered in the description of the courses listed in the curriculum. This course will cover subjects of recent issues and trends in computer science and may be let to the willing of the instructor, and must cover but not limited to the following advanced subjects: new trends in the Web technology, new trends in distributed and mobile computing, new trends in Artificial intelligence, new trends in software engineering, etc. Students are assigned individual projects in these specific fields: Project Reports and seminars, so to demonstrate their ability in research and oral presentations. Projects are discussed in workgroups so to involve the whole class in these subjects.
