SIL861 : Special Topics in ICTD
[edit]This course will focus on state-of-the-art and research problems of importance in ICTD area. SIV861 Information and Comm Technologies for Development 1 Credit (1-0-0) Notion of appropriate technology; case studies of ICTD projects such as KioskNet, WiLDNet (Wireless Long Distance Networks), AIR (Advanced Interactive Radio), Spoken Web, GRINS (Gramin Radio Inter Networking System), Digital Green; design principles to be kept in mind; evaluation methodologies. SIV864 Special Module on Media processing & Communication 1 Credit (1-0-0) Communication today has rich multimedia contents. Under the varying bandwidth attention is required for appropriate processing of the media contents satisfying desired quality of service. This course will focus on bringing the two broad areas of multimedia processing and communication together. In media processing fundamental concepts of media processing and compression will be introduced with exposure to current techniques and standards. In communication protocols and algorithms for both wired and wireless networks will be discussed in relation to multimedia communication. SIV871 Special Module in Computational Neuroscience 1 Credit (1-0-0) Special module that focuses on research problems of importance in this area of Neuroscience from a computational perspective. Specific coverage will vary with each offering, and may include project work and design / case studies. Topics for each offering of the course will be separately listed.
