-
3.00 Credits
3 hours; 3 credits Special topics in statistics will be studied during the semester. Reports will be presented, and written papers will be required in several areas. Topics may be chosen from among the following areas: quality and productivity methods, linear models, multivariate methods, nonparametric methods, and survey sampling. Prerequisite: STA 4000 or departmental permission. This course will be offered if there is sufficient demand.
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours; 3 credits This advanced course in database management systems is for students who wish to pursue work in database administration (DBA) or data administration (DA). DBA topics include policy, software evaluation, implementing database management software, database design, and repositories. The relationship and role of data administration in providing a "corporate"resource of data is also discussed. The role of DA at the company, departmental, application, and database levels is defined. Students design and evaluate alternatives for the same database structure, learn how to define "subject area"databases, and perform a software analysis, including the development of implementation policies to accompany their choice. Computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tools and how they can be used in designing logical and physical relational databases are demonstrated and used by students. Prerequisites: A grade of C or better in CIS 3100 or CIS 3200 and a grade of C or better in CIS 3400.
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours; 3 credits This course covers the fundamental principles of computer networking and telecommunications, including foundation communications concepts, network architectures and protocols, signaling and encoding, media, transmission techniques, local area networks, security, and management. Discussed are both the technical knowledge and the managerial considerations that are pertinent to understanding today's communications systems within the framework of business decision making. Students will work on a network design project. Since this is one of the most dynamic fields in the computer industry, the latest changes and developments are brought to the course as they occur. (Students may receive credit for only one of CIS 3500 or CIS 3501 or CIS 4450.) Prerequisites: A grade of C or better in CIS 3100 or CIS 3200 and a grade of C or better in CIS 3400.
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours; 3 credits Special topics in operations research will be studied during the semester. Topics will focus on advanced material that is not covered in the courses listed in the bulletin, and also on the latest developments in the field. These include, but are not limited to, advanced mathematical modeling, the latest trends in software designed for model building, algorithmic development, and implementation issues. Oral presentations and written reports will be required of the student. Prerequisite: OPR 3451 or permission of the area advisor.
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours; 3 credits This course builds on the material of CIS 4450, moving into wide area networking and computer communications. Included are topologies, transmission and switching technologies, internetworking, connectivity, routing, the Internet, addressing, protocols, and security. Consideration is given to the political and business climates in which the telecommunications industry operates. The latest changes and developments are brought to the class as they occur. Students will work on a network design project. Prerequisites: A grade of C or better in CIS 3100 or CIS 3200, a grade of C or better in CIS 3400, and CIS 4450.
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours; 3 credits The main objective of this course is to provide students with an in-depth understanding of the security risks and countermeasures evident in modern, networked information systems. Topics will include development of a security framework, overview of internetworking protocols, applications of cryptographic systems, and the principles and implementation of security in operating systems, software, database systems, wired and wireless networks, and web services. Upon successful completion of this course, students will have advanced skills to effectively assess, document, and manage the implementation of security policies and procedures that are crucial to the successful implementation of networked information systems. Prerequisite: CIS 4450.
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours; 3 credits This course focuses on the theoretical as well as practical aspects of applying knowledge-based, also called expert, systems to directly support decision-making tasks at the manager and other work levels in organizations. Because most expert systems are integrated with other software, the major project requires the use of expert system technology to construct a decision support system that integrates with database management of some other high-demand computer-based technology. Other associated technologies are also studied and used, such as neural networks. Students develop skill in modeling decision processes and converting the models into computer-usable form. The major projects are executed in groups and require oral as well as written presentation. Prerequisites: A grade of C or better in CIS 3100 or CIS 3200 and a grade of C or better in CIS 3400.
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours; 3 credits The purpose of this course is to provide students with an understanding of and practical experience with the information technologies employed by financial services firms that focus on capital markets. Topics covered include information systems for trade order management, order routing, order matching, algorithmic trading, clearing and settlement, risk management, and market data. Students will develop software that interacts with industry-leading commercial financial data providers. Prerequisites: CIS 3100 and 3400.
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours; 3 credits Information systems that employ multimedia digital infor - mation to communicate ideas represent the next wave of business computing. This course discusses the development of multimedia systems, starting with their evolution from earlier presentation and electronic publishing systems, to the current theory and practice of such systems, and ending with the unanswered or unsettled technical and ethical issues facing developers today and tomorrow. Topics include the cognitive and communication theories of information, multimedia applications, and current multimedia technologies, relationships with database, connectivity, and object-oriented technologies. Students will be required either to prepare a research paper on a course topic or to develop a demonstration project illustrating one of the technologies or applications discussed in the course. Prerequisites: A grade of C or better in CIS 3100 or CIS 3200, a grade of C or better in CIS 3400, and CIS 4450.
-
3.00 Credits
3 hours; 3 credits This course is an in-depth study of the concepts underlying modern computer operating systems. Facilities and services provided by operating systems and their purpose and use in business information system environments are covered. Students learn how these facilities are incorporated into, and made available by, various types of operating systems, on a variety of computer hardware platforms. Hands-on system administration and programming exercises are used to support operating systems theory. Topics covered include operating system components, multiprogramming, multiprocessing, and multitasking system; virtual storage; interactive and batch processing; and file management facilities. Prerequisites: A grade of C or better in CIS 3100 or CIS 3200 and a grade of C or better in CIS 3400.
