CMSC-791 Graduate Seminar: Computer Chess
Department of
Computer Science and
Electrical Engineering
University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC)
Brief Course Description
In this research seminar, we will explore current issues in computer
chess. Topics will include long-range planning, heuristic search,
massively parallel search, and design and analysis of data structures
and algorithms to support computer chess. Computer chess provides a
fascinating application through which to study many fundamental
computational issues.
All course information will be disseminated electronically, except
for certain reading materials.
