| | Credits | 3 |
| | Description | Introduction to distributed-object computing and its use in |
| | client/server and real-world computing applications. This |
| | course presents the fundamental concepts of distributed- |
| | object computing with applications to client/server computing |
| | which is an important platform for real-world computing |
| | systems. The course focuses on tools and techniques used in |
| | the design, development and deployment of client/server |
| | systems, including traditional architectures and also |
| | distributed-object technologies. Students will also consider |
| | issues of managing client/server systems and the relationships |
| | between organizational processes and information-system |
| | architectures. IST 411 will be an elective course for the |
| | Baccalaureate degree program in Information Sciences and |
| | Technology. It is expected that students completing the |
| | Systems Development Option may take this course to fulfill |
| | requirements for the option. |
| | Prerequisite | IST311 |
| | Objectives | Upon completion of this course, students will have a broad |
| | understanding of the fundamental concepts of distributed |
| | objects and distributed-computing architectures, and have the |
| | ability to apply these concepts to real-world applications. They |
| | will receive a broad examination of the major issues |
| | surrounding the design, development, deployment, and |
| | maintenance of client/server applications, and have the ability |
| | to construct such systems. The student will also have |
| | experience with current software standards, languages, |
