New Prereq check procedure
We will adopt a new procedure (akin to that used by some of the other engineering departments):
At the beginning of the term, have all the students in the class provide a copy of their transcripts, with the prerequisite class grade highlighted. The instructor will then check off against the roster, and drop any and all students who do not provide such proof of having completed the prerequisite with a satisfactory grade.
For classes with co-requisite requirements (such as CMPE 110), the student will provide the transcript (proving that the class has already been passed) or a printout from MySJSU (proving that the student is currently enrolled). Add the following to the class greensheet: ”Students who do not provide documentation of having satisfied the class prerequisite and co-requisite requirements (if any) by the second class meeting will be dropped from the class.

Course Description
Enterprise software, system and virtualized platforms. Covers OSs, NOS, security, databases (OLTP, Big Data, Analytics), transactions, groupware, components, web services, web, systems management and app development. Covers standards and emerging technologies. Prerequisite: Classified graduate standing or instructor consent. Computer Engineering and Software Engineering majors only.
More details
Current software development depends heavily on software platforms. A software platform integrates numerous layers of software technology that have been developed over several decades (commonly referred to as middleware). A software platform also provides a clear programming model, defines the deployment and management of applications, provides tools for efficient software development, and is a hotbed of standards development.
A software platform and its characteristics must be well understood before sound software engineering principles can be applied for developing high quality software that is delivered on time and within budget. The current state of art software platforms are explored and a gaze into the future of software platforms is taken.
There are two parallel tracks in this version of the course. Lectures and Programming. In the lecture track, it will familiarize you with Enterprise Software technologies and to identify factors that affect Enterprise Software development. Topics covered might include Cloud Computing, Virtualization, Mobile, Big Data, OSs, NOSs, databases, Transaction Management, Groupware, the Web, the Java platform, Distributed Objects, Component technologies, SOA, and Distributed Systems Management, etc. In the programming track, it will provide you the opportunity to practice some of the theories covered in class. This course not only provide you with a conceptual model for understanding various software disciplines, but also provide you with some real software engineering practices.

Classroom Protocol
This course consists of a single lecture per week. You must submit your assignments and project on time and attend all classes.
This section will be a large class with over 100 students. As a result, classroom etiquite become very important. Talking, arriving late to class, leaving cell phones on, leaving the room during class time, and other disruptive classroom behaviors will not be tolerated.
Grading
Apart from big term project(s) and presentation, there are homework assignments, a mid-term exam and a final exam. Some exams might be take-home. The weightings for grading are: Term Project 20%, Labs/Homework 35%, Midterm 15%, Final Exam 20%, and Team Presentation 10%. Schedule and course materials subject to change with fair notice. Success in this course is based on the expectation that students will spend, for each unit of credit, a minimum of forty-five hours over the length of the course (normally 3 hours per unit per week with 1 of the hours used for lecture) for instruction or preparation/studying or course related activities including but not limited to internships, labs, clinical practica. Other course structures will have equivalent workload expectations as described in the syllabus.
No Late Assignment Submission. Put everything in an envelop when submit any material.
General Expectations, Rights and Responsibilities of the Student
As members of the academic community, students accept both the rights and responsibilities incumbent upon all members of the institution. Students are encouraged to familiarize themselves with SJSU’s policies and practices pertaining to the procedures to follow if and when questions or concerns about a class arises. See University Policy S90–5 at http://www.sjsu.edu/senate/docs/S90-5.pdf. More detailed information on a variety of related topics is available in the SJSU catalog, at http://info.sjsu.edu/web- dbgen/narr/catalog/rec-12234.12506.html. In general, it is recommended that students begin by seeking clarification or discussing concerns with their instructor. If such conversation is not possible, or if it does not serve to address the issue, it is recommended that the student contact the Department Chair as a next step.
Course Workload Statement
The University Academic Senate provides the following guidance regarding course workload.
“Success in this course is based on the expectation that students will spend, for each unit of credit, a minimum of forty-five hours over the length of the course (normally 3 hours per unit per week with 1 of the hours used for lecture) for instruction or preparation/studying or course related activities including but not limited to internships, labs, clinical practica. Other course structures will have equivalent workload expectations as described in the syllabus.”
Given that this is a graduate course, you may spend as much as 5 hours per unit per week with 1 of the hours used for lecture. This is a three unit class so you may spend as much as 15 hours per week on this class.
NOTE that University policy F69-24 at http://www.sjsu.edu/senate/docs/F69-24.pdf states that “Students should attend all meetings of their classes, not only because they are responsible for material discussed therein, but because active participation is frequently essential to insure maximum benefit for all members of the class. Attendance per se shall not be used as a criterion for grading.”
Consent for Recording of Class and Public Sharing of Instructor Material
University Policy S12-7, http://www.sjsu.edu/senate/docs/S12-7.pdf, requires students to obtain instructor’s permission to record the course:
• “Common courtesy and professional behavior dictate that you notify someone when you are recording him/her. You must obtain the instructor’s permission to make audio or video recordings in this class. Such permission allows the recordings to be used for your private, study purposes only. The recordings are the intellectual property of the instructor; you have not been given any rights to reproduce or distribute the material.”
o It is suggested that the greensheet include the instructor’s process for granting permission, whether in writing or orally and whether for the whole semester or on a class by class basis.
o In classes where active participation of students or guests may be on the recording, permission of those students or guests should be obtained as well.
• “Course material developed by the instructor is the intellectual property of the instructor and cannot be shared publicly without his/her approval. You may not publicly share or upload instructor generated material for this course such as exam questions, lecture notes, or homework solutions without instructor consent.”

Title
Cross Domain Enterprise Online Market Place
Admin
Form a group of 5 or so people to complete this project.
Description
Using the various lab exercises you have so far, each of your group member has successfully "opened" up his/her own web company. As a group, all of the members need to work together and form an online market place. The online market place contains web sites from all the group members' companies, and it has to provide the following functions:
Extra Credits
Each group can add any number of extra features to obtain extra credits. E.g. facebook integration, fancy UI, multiple ways of rating, mutliple ways of top five, etc.
Check grade at my.sjsu. Grade will be not be given via email.
The university and departmental policies and deadlines for course drop will be applied. Makeup exams cannot be offered, except under exceptional conditions, such as documented serious illness/accident, etc., and only at the professor's discretion.
Each student is responsible for his/her individual assignment, and must not copy anyone else's work. Students who borrow solutions from others will find themselves unable to pass the course. The minimum penalty for every student involved in the duplication of individual assignments or exams will be receiving a zero score on the submitted work.
For group project, all the work has to be done by your OWN group. Do not try to download "free code" from the Internet and hand in as a project. WE WILL FIND OUT. Do not share your work with others. So DO YOUR OWN WORK and EARN your grade.x
