MASTERS OF SCIENCE
ADVANCING COMPUTER SCIENCE DEGREE
LEADING SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT INTO THE FUTURE
Software development and computer science are moving in new directions, and in order to capture
these movements, a modern day software developer needs to stay abreast of these changes. New algorithmic
structures, code metaphors and programming languages are being developed to capture new architectures
and paradigms in software development. Advancing computer science aims to capture the fluid movement
of software development and to advance the field further through the development of cutting edge
research and applications.
DEGREE OBJECTIVES
-
Assess and develop applications for new code architectures such as
distributed computing and neural networks.
-
Develop and test algorithms, strategies and methodologies to support model
generation for computationally intelligent software components.
-
Integrate new programming languages into application development, focusing
on the strengths of these new languages over current languages and practices
in software development.
-
Develop within a Context Driven Architecture (CoDA) to build applications
that provide what is needed to the user when it is needed.
-
Analyze and develop within a new software development paradigm, such as,
but not limited to, scrum, agile, or extreme programming, evaluating the
advantages and disadvantages to traditional software development.
