CAS 492-001 (Special Topics): Virtual Teams and Distributed Collaboration

Fall, 2013 	Tu/Thur 3:00-4:20 PM

Course Description:

This course focuses on new media and distributed collaboration: how groups work together via technology, practices that are critical to global organizations and business ventures. The course is at the University of Amsterdam and at MSU, and the University of Duisburg-Essen Germany later in the term. Students from all universities work together online. The course teaches principles of distributed collaboration and provides hands-on, experiential learning in working with others across the globe, from different cultures. It focuses on individuals??? and groups??? strategies for effective collaboration and media systems and platforms that support it.  There is an instructor at each university???it is not an online course???so that all students get immediate instruction and important class discussions. Students learn first-hand, through guided instruction, in-class reflection, and through trial and error, how best to work with remote colleagues using contemporary communication technology.

Subject: [CSENews] CSE 491- Biometrics-- still space to enroll
Message-ID: <521793EB.3050901@cse.msu.edu>

Dear CpS students,

Welcome back!

  There is still space for you to enroll in CSE 491- Biometrics.  Be 
sure to email me your PID if you wish to take this course.  I will need 
to give you an override.  Please note: this will count as one of your 
five CSE 400 level course requirements.

Here is the course description:
*Description:
*Biometrics refers to the science of recognizing humans by utilizing the 
physical (e.g., fingerprint, face, iris) and/or behavioral (e.g., gait, 
signature) traits of an individual. This course will discuss several of 
these traits and the automated techniques used for feature extraction 
and matching. The focus will be on automated face recognition, 
fingerprint recognition and iris recognition. Topics related to 
multimodal biometrics, protecting biometric templates, and biometric 
data privacy will also be presented. The programming projects will be 
geared toward implementing basic feature extraction and matching algorithms.

*Objectives:
*To equip students with a good knowledge of: (a) the design and working 
of a generic biometric system; (b) the features used to represent and 
match individual biometric traits; (c) the performance metrics used to 
evaluate a biometric system; (d) the socio-legal implications of biometrics.

*Pre-requisites:
* MTh 234. Please contact the instructor at rossarun at cse.msu.edu 
<mailto:rossarun at cse.msu.edu> if you have any questions.

*Assignments and Projects:*
The course work will (tentatively) include 3 small projects, 3 homework 
assignments, 3 quizzes, and 2 exams.
