A Brief Introduction of The Computer Application Technology Classes

For Foreign Graduate and Doctorate Students Studying In Central South University

Central South University (CSU) is a comprehensive and national key university under the direct administration of the Ministry of Education in China. It is one of the universities of Project 211 and Program 985 that is financed by the central government to build as a world-class university. CSU is situated in Changsha city, Hunan province.

The School of Information Science and Engineering (SISE) of CSU began to recruit undergraduate students in 1958 and graduate students in 1978. SISE offers a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programs in the discipline of Control Theory & Control Engineering, Computer Science & Technology, Electrical Engineering, Information & Communication Engineering, Electronics Science & Technology, Traffic Information Engineering & Control, and Systems Analysis & Integration etc. With about 7000 staffs and students, SISE has developed into the largest-scale school in CSU. The faculty of SISE is of high quality. Among them, there are famous domestic and oversea professors and experts. Currently, there are 329 faculties in the SISE. 65 full professors, among them, there are 37 PHD supervisors, and 112 associate professors. Meanwhile, a number of famous scientists both at home and abroad are employed to be honorary professor, guest professor and concurrent Professor in SISE

SISE began to open Classes for Foreign Graduate Students (CFGS) (3 years)in 1998 and Classes for the Foreign Doctorate Students (CFDS)(4 years) in 2007 learning discipline of Computer Science and Technology. 72 graduate students and 2 Doctorate students have graduated since then. Meanwhile, there are 66 graduate students and 25 Doctorate students in-study.

The discipline of Computer Science and Technology (CST) emphasizes on the such subjects as Modern Computer Network, Communication, Optimization Theory and Application of Network Computation, Modern Software Engineering, the Processing Technology of Computer Graphics and Graphical Information, the Computer Architecture and so on. CST has established some solid research areas each with its own characteristic, i.e., Theory of Computing Optimization and Application, Distributed and Parallel Processing, Intelligent Information Processing, Modern Software Engineering and Application, Theory of Network Computation, Modern and Algorithm, Theory and Technology of the Network Security, Theory and Communication Technology of Computer Network, Computer Architecture, Theory and Application of Multi-media Technology, Technology of Database and Information Processing, Semantic Web, the Offence and Defense of Computer Virus and Aspect Oriented Software Engineering and so on. CST aims at educating the advanced and specialized talents undertaking the research, development and design for various systems in the area of computer and the area related to computer. Those talents have owned the following edges: having solid theoretical foundation of computer science and technology, systematically understanding the technology of the subject, being familiar with the latest research achievements and the development trends of the subject, owning the ability to engage in the research work and solve the engineering problems independently, having competence for the job of high level teaching, research, software development and management in computer science and technology and related subjects.

Currently, we have graduate curricula: Computer Architecture, Artificial Intelligence, Modern Software Engineering, Advanced Computer Network Technology, and Database design, Theory of Computation, Multimedia Technology, Digital Graphics Processing and Application, Object Oriented Component Technology, Parallel Program Design etc. For doctorate students, the curricula are Modern Computer Application Technology, Research on Modern Computer Algorithm, Theory of Computation, Advanced Digital Graphics Processing and Theory of Intelligent Systems and Application etc.
