CS 447 BUILDING E-COMMERCE SYSTEM

Credits: 3(3,0,1) Prerequisite: SE 371
This course looks at building E-Commerce (EC) systems. After defining the nature of e-
commerce systems, the following topics are investigated: EC systems architecture –
technical and logistic requirements; user interactions – shopping cart model, handling
orders and payments; deploying, marketing and managing e-shops; and security issues.

CS 451 ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING
Credits: 3(3,0,1) Prerequisites: CS 340,

This course introduces the major techniques relating to Enterprise Resource Planning
(ERP) systems. ERP software systems provide comprehensive management of financial,
manufacturing, sales, distribution and human resources across the enterprise. The course
starts by showing how ERP systems provide the foundation for a wide range of e-
commerce based processes including web-based ordering and order tracing, inventory
management, and built-to-order goods. It explains how ERP systems work, and highlights
their role. CS 451 is a useful course for business students interested in information systems
management.

CS 455 COMPUTATIONAL BIOINFORMATICS

Credits: 3(3,0,1) Prerequisite: CS 311
This course presents an overview of important applications of computers to solve
problems in biology. The aim of the course is to introduce CS students to modern
computational practices in bioinformatics. Major topics covered are computational
molecular biology (analysis of protein and nucleic acid sequences), biological modeling and
simulation (including computer models of population dynamics, Bioinformatics databases,
BLAST). The course concentrates on the algorithmic details of bioinformatics.

CS 460 INTRODUCTION TO ROBOTICS

Credits: 3(3,0,1) Prerequisites: CS 210, Instructor consent
The objective of this course is to present the fundamental concepts to develop
autonomous mobile robots. The course covers the basics of mobile robots control,
kinematic theory, navigation, localization and perception. The course will consolidate the
understanding of theoretical concepts through practical hands-on activities pertaining to
robot programming and deployment. The aim of this course is to give PSU students, in
computer science and engineering colleges, an opportunity to discover the world of
robotics, and design and develop real robotic applications.

CS 462 TOPICS IN MULTIMEDIA
Credits: 3(3,0,1) Prerequisite: SE 371
The course introduces techniques and applications relating to multimedia. The two major
subject areas of focus are: 1) a study of the principles and practice in computer-enhanced
multimedia, and 2) skills development for making multimedia products by incorporating
graphics, animation, video, sound and text.
