    In this course students will be introduced to multimedia principles and technologies. Topics will include effectively representing, processing and retrieving multimedia data such as text, graphics, sound, music, images and video. Students will use the Internet, design and edit an Internet home page, and create a multimedia presentation. Various multimedia tools and techniques will be explored. Prerequisite: COM 141 or equivalent. 3 hours a week, 1 semester, 3 credits. Fall 2010
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course explores specific classes of problems and their solutions. Fundamental questions concerning computational complexity, data stor- age and access, data encapsulation using objects, space/time bounds, optimal algorithms and data structures including lists, queues and trees are addressed. Algorithms for important classes of problems such as searching, sorting and pattern-matching will be designed, implemented and tested in a laboratory environment. (Corresponds to ACM CS2.) Prerequisite: COM 152 and MAT 203, each with a minimum grade of C-. 3 hours a week, 1 semester, 3 credits. Spring 2008, 2010
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course teaches the techniques for managing and producting large maintainable software systems. Topics include cost estimating, require- ment specification, design methodologies, implementation and integration, verification and documentation techniques. Students will utilize current automated software engineering tools to apply the learned concepts and will develop a cost estimate, project management plan, functional specifi- cation and detailed design specificiation of a selected software system. Prerequisite: COM 210 or departmental approval. 3 hours a week, 1 semester, 3 credits. Spring 2008, 2010
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course explores the evolution and physical structure of modern computers, from microcomputers to mainframes: their integrated cir- cuits, components and organization. The concept of a multilayer virtual machine will be explored and programmed using machine language, microcode, operating system interrupts and assembly language. Advanced concepts such as RISC machines, pipelining and parallel computing will be studied. Students will utilize these principles to ana- lyze the design of a current microprocessor. Prerequisite: COM 152. 3 hours a week, 1 semester, 3 credits. Spring 2009, 2011
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course combines the theoretical and practical aspects of secur- ing a computer system. The goal is the design and analysis of secure systems, which incorporate confidentiality, integrity and availability. Topics include threats, risk management, access controls, cryptography and encryption, secure code (especially operating systems, databases, programs, email), network and Internet security including firewalls and VPNs. The legal, ethical and privacy issues of information security are emphasized. Prerequisite: COM 200 or departmental approval. 3 hours a week, 1 semester, 3 credits.
  • 3.00 Credits

    The design and development of information systems for a business environment. Topics will include analysis of information flow, design of business systems, specifications, equipment selection, and file organi- zation. Detailed steps for each phase of the design will be related to business applications on a full scale computer system. Prerequisite: Any introductory computer course. 3 hours a week, 1 semester, 3 credits. Fall 2007, 2009
  • 3.00 Credits

    The emphasis of this course is on the efficient allocation and use of computer resources, especially those involving process and memory management, job scheduling, access to hardware and software resources, security and reliability. Examples will be drawn from standard operating systems (e.g.Windows NT, MS-DOS, UNIX). Questions relat- ing to communications (timesharing, networking, concurrency, distrib- uted systems, synchronization and deadlocks) will be discussed. Prerequisite: COM 210. 3 hours a week, 1 semester, 3 credits. Spring 2008, 2010
  • 3.00 Credits

    The Open System Interconnection (OSI) model provides the theoret- ical basis for the study of computer communications. Topics include the physical transmission of data, communication protocols and architec- ture, network addressing, services and applications such as file transfer (ftp), telnet, and e-mail. Topologies, design and implementation issues involved in LANs, WANs and internetworking will be explored. Prerequisite: COM 210, with a minimum grade of C-. 3 hours a week, 1 semester, 3 credits. Fall 2008, 2010
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course will present advanced programming concepts such as inheritance, interfaces, multitasking, interactive network programming, event handling, GUI generation and stream I/O and the use of these concepts in building programs of significant size. Applications, applets and servlets will be investigated. Students will apply the learned con- cepts by completeing several programming projects of significant size. Prerequisite: COM 152 and COM 210 or their equivalent. 3 hours a week, 1 semester, 3 credits. Spring 2009, 2011
  • 3.00 Credits

    An introduction to the principal functions of a Database Management System (DBMS), physical data organization, relational query lan- guages, and issues of data security and consistency. Prerequisite: COM 152 or departmental approval. 3 hours a week, 1 semester, 3 credits. Fall 2008, 2010
