The course covers discussions on the system
development methodologies and the different tasks involved in systems analysis,
design, implementation and support. At
the end of the course the graduate student is expected to develop a design
proposal of an information system and a prototype system that is intended for
implementation.
The primary objective of the course is to
provide in depth understanding on the framework for project management,
detailed description of each project management knowledge area and its
practical information for applying project management. The rapidly changing
field of information technology requires a solid knowledge foundation in
technology based project management. This course reviews contemporary
information technology management and the relevant issues of effective
management of the information service activities.
This course provides graduate students with a comprehensive view of the network management problem, including its concepts, scope, challenges, and techniques. In doing so, we will use concrete applications and scenarios, such as MPLS, VPN, VLAN, etc. to illustrate. As a highlight of this course, we will also spend significant amount of time studying emerging networking technologies such as Software Defined Networking, to help students better prepared for managing future IT infrastructures. At the end of the course the graduate student is expected to write a research proposal.
