Subject: Chemical Informatics DE Courses at Indiana University

Chemical Informatics DE Courses at Indiana University
Spring Semester, January 9 -- April 28, 2006

COURSES:

I590 Programming for Science Informatics (3 semester credit hours)
Instructor: Dr. David J. Wild
Section 27415, Tuesdays and Thursdays,
11:15 AM --  12:30 PM Eastern Standard Time 

This course is designed to give students a thorough understanding of all
aspects of software development for chemo- and bioinformatics, as well
as a broader experience of working in a small scientific computing
group. Topics include programming for the web, development of web
services, science informatics toolkits (with particular emphasis on
chemical informatics toolkits), software APIs, artificial intelligence
and machine-learning algorithm development, high performance computing,
database management, managing a small software development group, and
design and usability of science informatics software. Special lectures
will also be given by invited guests from the scientific software
industry. The coursework will involve development of part or whole of a
science informatics software system.  A basic understanding of science
and familiarity with C, C++, Perl, and Java programming languages are
required.
