This course covers the development of an integrated technical architecture (hardware, software, networks, and data) to serve organizational needs in a rapidly changing competitive and technological environment; the task of defining, designing, building, testing and rolling-out a system comprising many hardware and software components. It covers the fundamental issues associated with reengineering of legacy systems, data, application, and network integration in a distributed client server computing environments.
Topics will include reengineering of legacy systems, data architecture, data warehouse design and implementation, operating systems and network protocols, network interface and applications middleware, transaction processing monitors, J2EE, Dot Net, and web services platforms, and migration to architected environments. Students will develop applications using Oracle database developer forms and reports.
The prerequisites to this course are ISMG 6080 and ISMG 6120.
Late work: Late work will be accepted up to one week following the scheduled due date. Late work is subject to a penalty of 10% of the maximum possible credit for the assignment.
Participation: Active participation in these class discussions is an important component of this course. Regular attendance is required. Note that attendance is distinct from participation. It is expected that students will enrich the course through relevant questions and contribution of personal knowledge and experience.
Reporting Absences: As a courtesy, the instructor requests an e-mail message in the event a student will be unable to attend a scheduled class session.
Examination Policy: Attendance at examinations is mandatory. Make up exams are not typically given. The only acceptable excuses for missing an exam are circumstances clearly outside your control, such as illness, death in family, etc. If you miss an exam, notify me as soon as possible. I may require documentation of the circumstances.
Scholastic Dishonesty: Any time you put your name on a piece of work for this course, you are asserting that it is your own work, except as otherwise indicated and permitted. If that is not the case, it is academic dishonesty, and under Business School rules, I am required to submit the matter to the College Internal Affairs committee for a decision. Regarding plagiarism, the source of any information you use must be reported using an appropriate citation format. Direct quotations must be indicated with quotation marks and page references.
Below is the weight given to each assignment and exam. Failure to attend class regularly and to participate in class discussions will negatively impact your grade.

Letter grades will be assigned using the following scale:
| A | A- | B+ | B | B- | C+ | C | C- | D+ | D | D- |

At the discretion of the instructor, grades may be "curved." However, no student will receive a grade less than that prescribed by the above schedule.
Projects are individual projects (group of one). There will be absolutely no extensions to any deadlines.
Projects Submission: You should submit your projects to the backboard system. In no case you should submit your projects to me via an e-mail attachment. Such submissions will be deleted without grading.
You need to use either the Oracle 10g Database or the Oracle 9i Database and Developer Forms and Reports in your projects. Currently, the 10g Client is still the exact same Client as the 9i Client, so if you already have that installed, you do not need to upgrade. New also this year, if you have a previous version of Oracle, you may upgrade during installation, instead of running a complete install. To purchase the correct CD packs, you need to go to the Oracle Store at http://oraclestore.oracle.com/ , and choose “United States”. You will want the Oracle Standard Edition.. There are installation instructions for Windows 2000, and EXP on the course schedule and on the blackboard. You may also download the Oracle Database (recommended) from Oracle at the link below The Oracle 10g Server, which you do not need to download, has changed significantly. The Oracle 10g Developer Suite is also still actually the Oracle 9i Developer Suite. If you need to download it, go to: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ids/index.html, and select the appropriate operating system platform.
