object-oriented methods without relying on classical methods to
introduce key
concepts or without requiring students to know Java or C++. It will
presume no
knowledge whatsoever about process modeling or data modeling. The
widely used
UML notation (unified modeling language) will be used throughout the
course for
all diagrams and model renderings. The key benefit to this approach is
that it
makes the course easier to teach and learn since many students come to
this
course with limited backgrounds. Also, this approach is appealing

software in other courses, and provides the context for more advanced
modules
that deal with software engineering and project management.

how people can live and work in
societies in which these practices and social forms are widespread and
mixed
with face-to-face relationships. It will be a critical forum for
studies of the
implication of these diverse virtual forms within the larger context of
"virtual societies.’
ITE535:
Strategic Leadership in Technology-Based Organizations
The
course helps students understand the root causes of common problems in
innovation, showing how these can manifest themselves symptomatically
in
various stages of the development process, and in different areas of
the
company. Some action-driven students may find fault with this
problem-searching
approach, wanting instead to get straightforward directives on how to
solve problems,
not to understand them. But the viewpoint of this course is that many
problems
in managing innovation persist because managers aggressively implement
solutions to the wrong problems - or because managers address only the
apparent
symptoms, without understanding their underlying cause. Framing the
problem
accurately is the most significant element of problem solving because
when the
root causes of problems have been well defined, what to do about them
often
becomes obvious. Hence, while each of the case studies requires
students to
formulate clear plans of action, the aspiration of this course is first
to help
managers build the tools to understand the real, underlying reasons why
efforts
to innovate so often fall short of expectations - and then with that
understanding as a foundation, to learn how to build action plans that
resolve
the root problems (Christensen, 1999).

had an
introductory database design course. This course provides students a
theoretical foundation on which databases are built. It enhances

of how enterprise databases should be designed. Students develop an
awareness
of the problems related to developing and administering complex
enterprise
database systems. Specific topics discussed include data warehousing
and
data-mining, distributed database systems, object-oriented databases,
and
architectures for enterprise databases, theory of relational database
design,

and the
Internet, and showing how these become a critical success factor in the
operation of companies in the new millennium.

other
macroeconomic variables. These models are then used to analyze general
issues,
such as the choice of exchange rate regime, the performance of the
international monetary system, and the role of international capital
markets,
as well as specific current topics, such as the single currency in
Europe, the
Asian financial crisis, and the policy debate over capital controls.

reference,
where appropriate, to selected dispute settlement cases.
LAW513:

treatment of their own nationals. What fundamental rights, if any, do
individuals throughout the world have in relation to governments? Who
may
legitimately articulate and enforce such rights, and through what
mechanisms?
The course will examine these issues through the mechanisms of
international
criminal law. It will begin with an overview of the development and
current
state of the international law of human rights. It will then turn to an
examination of the law governing conduct that is criminalized under
international treaty or custom, including war crimes, genocide, crimes
against
humanity, piracy, slave trade, certain forms of terrorism and the like.

necessary gap-filling and clarification, it is not viewed as a change
in
existing international law.
