OV-1.2 CSE244 Course Goals  Provide the Theoretical Foundations as well as a Practical Introduction to Compiler Concepts and Their Construction  Focus on Both Theory and Practice  Theory: Strong Mathematical Basis of Compilers  Practice: Experimental Framework for Illustrating Theory

OV-1.3 CSE244 Course Philosophy  Introduction to Fundamental Compiler Concepts  Understand the rich theoretical basis for Compiler Construction.  Promotion of Knowledge-Acquisition, Self- Learning, and Independence  Experiment with New Programming Tools.  Rapid Evolution of Computing  Always Must Keep Skills Up-to-Date  Practical Exposure to Compiler Writing Tools

OV-1.4 CSE244 Textbooks and Class Materials  Class Text (UConn COOP):  Compilers: Principles, Techniques and Tools, Aho, et al., Addison-Wesley, 1988  Also: lex and yacc, 2nd edition, Levine, et al., O’Reilly, but you can also use the web.  CSE244 Web Site at …   Course Notes will be available On-Line  Check the web-site FREQUENTLY for announcements and other material. The web-site will be our prime means of communication.  Other Class Materials  Software Download.  PC Versions of Lex and Yacc

OV-1.6 CSE244Grading  Weight System.  Projects - Small Teams (weight = 0.45)  Three Programming Projects (0.08, 0.12, 0.25)  Exams (weight = 0.45)  Midterm+Final (0.15, 0.30)  Closed Book and Closed Notes  Some non-programming Homeworks (weight = 0.10)  Spread throughout the Semester when important theoretical material is presented.  Final grade is based on an Index number that is calculated by summing the scaled and weighted number grades for each assignment.  Final Letter Grades are assigned using Comparative Performance + Common Sense (note: my common sense).

OV-1.7 CSE244 Course Projects  Will Utilize Compiler Writing Tools Lex/Yacc  Almost No Discussion of Projects in Class.  Self-Learning and Knowledge Acquisition.  Usage of lex/yacc manuals.  For each project you will hand-in…  Project Topics will be …

OV-1.8 CSE244Cheating/Collaboration  Not Tolerated in Any Form.  Severe Penalties are Likely.  See University of Connecticut Student Conduct Code  All Homeworks/Some Projects Represent Individual Effort (or if team work is assigned they represent the collaborative efforts of the team’s members)  Cooperative Problem Solving and Sharing Code is NOT Permitted and Will Likely Lead to Fs!  Use chmod on Unix / Linux and Take Files with you on Local NTs to Protect Your Account.

OV-1.9 CSE244 Lateness Policies/Exams  Late Assignments (Homeworks/Projects) will be Accepted with Penalties. No penalties will apply only to students who obtain prior permission.  Prior Permission: Contact the Instructor Three Days Before the Due Date  Emergencies: Illness, Death in the Family, etc.  Contact  BY OR via the CSE Office, ITEB250.  Assignment is due in the Start of Class of the Due date!!!  Makeup on Absent Exam at Instructor’s Discretion (and only in case of an emergency, see above)

OV-1.10 CSE244 Class Attendance and Computing  Attendance in Class is …  Responsibility of each Student  May Result in Missing Hint/Clarification/Error on Class Project  Change in Due Date or Exam Date  No guarantee that all Information will make it to the Web-site  Computing for Class is …  Any Platform that runs the Compiler Writing Tools + a C Compiler (Unix, Windows, Linux, …)  Computing at School: never rely on System back-ups. Take Files always with You! (especially for Windows-based systems).  Your Responsibility to Protect Your Files
