For recent information please see the Wattle course page. Welcome to System Architectural Understanding and the Human Brain (COMP3650/6365) for 2012. This course will teach how to understand the behaviours of complex functional systems in terms of their components, using as an example the problem of relating psychology to physiology for the human brain. Students will learn how to approach understanding of complex functional systems by means of descriptions on many different levels of detail which can be mapped into each other. This is one of the basic skills needed to understand, design and modify complex functional systems. The course will be relevant to students interested in designing or maintaining complex functional systems. Using the human brain as the example will make the course relevant to students interested in research on the mammal brain, and students interested in medical studies of the human brain.
Please note: the course runs from week 4 to week 13 and NOT in the mid-term break even though Study@ANU thinks its an Autumn course. Study@ANU entries show details of the course including pre-requisites.
Lectures will take place on Tuesdays 1 p.m. - 2 p.m and Wednesdays 1 p.m. - 3 p.m. The approximate topics for the lectures can be found here
Tutorials are 1 hour discussions of course topics with the lecturer, and commence in the week 5 of the semester (2nd week of the course). Approximate topics can be found here. All students should sign up for one tutorial per week.
Andrew Coward will be available for discussion of problems after the lectures and tutorials, or drop by my office: room N235 in the Research School of Computer Science. I will be available for students to visit on ... (see times in Wattle). If another time is needed you can email me to arrange a time. Individuals or (small) groups welcome.
