An in-depth study of business transformation and the role of
information technology (IT) as both an enabler and a driver of change.
The course examines significant organizational changes and other
issues associated with the incorporation and integration of IT
throughout various levels of the organization, primarily from the
process management perspective. A variety of commercial and open
source tools will be used to determine the most effective ways of
managing change in technology-intensive organizations. Students will
learn the best practices in business process re-engineering and
continuous process improvement. The focus is on enterprise and IT
integration and synergy creation.

INSS 735 INFORMATION SYSTEMS
SECURITY

Former course number 635 Prerequisites: INSS 615, 630 or
consent of Instructor
Credit 3
This course explores security policies, policies, models, and mechanics
for secrecy, integrity, and availability. Topics include operating systems
models and mechanisms for mandatory and discretionary controls;
data models, concepts, and mechanisms for database security; basic
cryptography and its applications; security in computer networks and
distributed systems; as well as control and prevention of viruses and
other malicious programs.

INSS 740 ADVANCED OBJECT-ORIENTED ANALYSIS AND DESIGN

Prerequisite: INSS 640
Credit 3
In-depth study of the principles and applications of object-oriented
methods in information systems. The course examines a variety of
languages and design methods used for class construction. Higher-level
tools for system construction are considered. Applications are
investigated through program construction and case studies in varied
settings, such as database systems, graphical user interfaces,
knowledge-based systems, simulations, and prototyping. The course
offers step-by-step guidelines for exploiting the benefits of object-
oriented analysis and design, using running program examples to
compare traditional and object-oriented approaches.
