CMP 210 - Data Structures and Algorithms
Course Description This course is designed to teach students structures and schemes, which allow them to write programs to
efficiently manipulate, store, and retrieve data. “An apprentice carpenter may want only hammer and saw,
but a master craftsman employs many precision tools; (Robert L. Kruse Data Structure and Program
Design)”. Computer programming likewise requires sophisticated tools to cope with complexity of real
applications and only practice with these tools will build skill in their use. Topics: Introduction:

SE 342 - Enterprise System Development
Course Description This course intends to teach the technologies underpinning modern enterprise wide applications including
client-server, distributed and object-based systems. The purpose of the course is to explain the role of
enterprise java beans in enterprise application development and its relationship to other J2EE technologies
such as JSP, Servlets , JMS, CORBA and XML .This course includes explanation of EJB architecture: role
of EJB container ,transaction control, authorization control and object pooling and EJB development
lifecycle: Java source code compilation ,XML deployment descriptors , EJB compilation and deployment
and use by an application server. It will provide a sound foundation for distributed application
development. Emphasis of the course is on enterprise level development of applications. The following
topics will be covered in this course: Overview of enterprise Java beans: Component architecture and
service oriented architecture, Enterprise application design issues , Distributed computing model applying
RMI, Naming and directory service(JNDI, LDAP) overview, Enterprise Fundamentals: Enterprise beans
overview ,types of beans ,Entity beans: CMP,BMP and session beans: Stateless session beans and stateful
session beans , Development of an EJB component: Remote interface ,Home interface, local interface, local
home interface, bean class ,deployment descriptor and bean deployment Introduction to JMS and MDBs ,
Introduction to JINI ,Introduction to Java namespaces, Introduction to Java Mail API, Introduction to Java
cryptography, Model view controller. This course also covers different frameworks and technologies used
in enterprise applications development: AJAX, Hibernate, Struts, and Java Server Faces.
