IS112 - Computer Organization

  5. BS and BBA IS Curriculum • How does IS 112 fit into IS curriculum? • What should you get out of taking IS 112? IS112 - Computer Organization

  6. IS 112 Course Goals • Students will develop technical research, analysis, and communication skills • Research – where/how to find information? • Analysis – is information unbiased and accurate? • Communication – organize and synthesize your findings and present to a non-technical audience IS112 - Computer Organization

  7. IS Accreditation • National IS organization has created criteria and standards for an IS degree • Document available athttp://www.is2002.org • Accredited programs provide higher quality and consistency • Pace was first program in US to obtain accreditation IS112 - Computer Organization

  8. IS’2002.4 Description (IS112) • Covers hardware/software technology background in order to understand tradeoffs in computer architecture within a business environment • IS professional: understand business requirements, research technology options, describe and recommend solutions IS112 - Computer Organization

  9. IS 2002.4 Topics • Hardware: CPU architecture, memory, registers, addressing modes, busses, instruction sets, multi processors versus single processors; peripheral devices: hard disks, CDs, video display monitors, device controllers, input/output; operating systems functions and types; operating system modules: processes, process management, memory and file system management; examples of hardware architectures; examples of operating systems; installation and configuration of multiuser operating systems. IS112 - Computer Organization

  10. Syllabus and schedule • Overview of course requirements and assignments • CS/IS Student Statement of Responsibilities IS112 - Computer Organization

  11. Assignments and Grading • Attendance and class participation – 10 pts • Homework – 10 points • Two person presentation (simple machine) – 15 pts • Research paper and individual presentation – 20 pts • Midterm – 20 pts • Final – 25 pts IS112 - Computer Organization

  12. Blackboard 6.0 • Link is at http://blackboard.pace.edu • Your login is beginning of Pace e-mail address (drop the @pace.edu) • Password must be set through the Pace portal • Find your email ID at http://studentit.pace.edu IS112 - Computer Organization

  13. What if it doesn’t work? • Access class documents at http://csis.pace.edu/~dwyer • Report problem to http://doithelpdesk.pace.edu/ IS112 - Computer Organization

  14. IS112 & Blackboard • Reading schedule & list of assignments • Submit homework • Discussion forums • Online reading assignments • If Blackboard is unavailable documents can be obtained at http://csis.pace.edu/~dwyer IS112 - Computer Organization

  15. Your Pace Student e-mail • All e-mail from me will go to your Pace student e-mail account • To access your student e-mail go to http://stmail.pace.edu/ • Use mail forwarding if you use another e-mail account • Include your FULL NAME in all e-mails sent to your professors • Go to http://studentit.pace.edu/ for help with e-mail IS112 - Computer Organization

  16. Why study technology? • What do you need to know about technology? • Where can you find reliable sources of information on technology? IS112 - Computer Organization

  17. Role of IS Professional • Research, recommend, develop, install, configure, and maintain information technology (IT) based solutions to business and organizational needs IS112 - Computer Organization

  18. IS Professional Role • Good advice is crucial • This requires • Complete understanding of fundamental business goals of your company • Current and complete knowledge of potential technical solutions IS112 - Computer Organization

  19. Assignment 1: Pervasive computing • When we think of the word “computer,” we think of a desktop or a laptop • But computer technology can be deployed in many other products – called “smart devices” or “embedded chips” • Also known as ubiquitous computing IS112 - Computer Organization

  20. Example of embedded chips • In new cars, there is a sensor that determines weight of the front passenger • If the weight is over 80 pounds the air bag is turned on (otherwise it is turned off) • Airbags have been found to be dangerous for children and small adults – so this is a safety feature • This sensor is an example of an embedded chip IS112 - Computer Organization

  21. How does embedded technology work? • In the case of the car, it measures the weight, determines whether it exceeds the required threshold, then turns on the airbag for adults and turns off the airbag for children • In general, smart technology does the following: • Measures a condition • Compares its value to a threshold condition • Takes appropriate action based on result IS112 - Computer Organization

  22. Week 1 Assignments • Due Tuesday, Sept. 13th, 11:15 am • Discussion board assignments – introduce yourself, post your AIM screen name • Assignment in week 1 forum: • Read about embedded chips • Think about how they are used in every day machines • List 5 examples and describe how they work IS112 - Computer Organization

  23. Next class • Assignments • Embedded chips posting • Read Chapter 01 in Burd text • Topics • Research and analysis requirements for IS professional • Evaluating Internet based research IS112 - Computer Organization
