CSSE 481 - Web-Based Information Systems

  • Credit Hours: 4R-0L-4C
  • Term Available: F (odd years)
  • Graduate Studies Eligible: No
  • Prerequisites: CSSE 230
  • Corequisites: None

In this course, students learn about several aspects of research: thinking creatively about interesting research problems, researching existing work in a chosen area, and keeping current in a field. Students are exposed to the process of research by writing a pre-proposal for a project that advances the web. Projects either develop new web-technologies or applications or investigate a topic of importance. Based on feedback received, groups of students write a research proposal which goes through a formal peer review process. Approved projects are pursued for the remainder of the quarter. Students present current research as well as give a final presentation of their group project. Selected web-technologies are introduced; in the past, these have included CGI programming and XML technologies.
