FIT3083 e-Business software technologies - Semester 2, 2013

The emphasis in this unit is on the software technologies and data formats used to implement e-Business Systems. Although this unit is entirely suitable for a future developer of e-Business Systems, it is optimally targeted at future managers of such development. Thus practical exercises will be illustrative rather than industrial strength and technology issues will be given equal coverage with technology details. The primary aim of the unit is to familiarise students with as many of the currently popular e-Business technologies as possible so that their design and implementation decisions in the future will be informed and therefore produce successful systems with a high degree of probability.

  • standards Bodies (IETF, W3C, OASIS, OAGIS etc);
  • eBusiness formal and de jour Standards;
  • mobile Application Development.
Developed attitudes that enable them to:
  • have an appreciation that eBusiness Systems are better designed and managed by professionals with a sound knowledge of the technologies used to build these systems;
  • have an appreciation that underlying technologies often directly impact the business goals of an eBusiness System via constraints and opportunities presented by the technologies;
  • have a belief that all existing technologies in back-end systems can be integrated by appropriate middleware;
  • value the importance of choosing to use established technology standards where possible.
Developed the skills to:
  • develop a small eBusiness system (B2B or B2C and IDE/implement the appropriate technology;
  • create an appropriate Technical Architecture for a specified, non-trivial eBusiness solution;
  • create XML documents, schemas for these documents, transforming and querying such documents using fundamental XML skills.
Demonstrated the communication skills necessary to:
  • identify and communicate the technical opportunities and problems associated with a particular technical solution to a business solution;
  • understand the relationship between business and technical analysts within an eBusiness System Development.

Assessment Tasks

Participation

  • Assessment task 1
    Title:
    11 Laboratory Assessments
    Description:
    During each lab session students will be required to complete specified coding tasks. This work will be marked in the same laboratory session.

    Each laboratory is worth 4% of the final mark. The best 10 of the 11 laboratory marks will constitute the 40% non-exam mark for each student.
    Weighting:
    Each of 10 tutorials will be worth 4 marks for a total of 40% of your final mark for the unit
    Criteria for assessment:

    Students will be awarded marks for completing coding tasks according to the principles and styles enumerated in lectures. It is important to understand working code will NOT attract full marks in its own right. Students will be questioned on their code. Marks will only be given for code the student can clearly describe and sematically interpret to the satisfaction of the tutor.

    Due date:
    Tutorial work will be marked in tutorials
