COSC 35 Data Stream Algorithms

This course studies algorithms that process massive amounts of data; so massive that they will not fit in a computer’s storage. The course will cover a wide variety of techniques for summarizing such large amounts of data into succinct “sketches” that nevertheless retain important and useful information. The course starts from the basics, assuming only a basic knowledge of algorithms, and builds up to advanced techniques from recent research. The necessary mathematical tools are developed within the course.

Prerequisite

COSC 31 or permission of the instructor.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
