1 General Information Instructor: Nicholas C. Bucciarelli, Ph.D Classroom: Hinds 027 Primary Class Time: 9:30am 12:15pm, Wednesday Primary Mobile Phone: Office Location: Hinds (TBD) If Help is Needed, please contact me ASAP Office Hours: By Appointment Course Prerequisites The courses listed below must been completed successfully before being admitted into this course: IST552: Information Systems Analysis: Concepts and Practice IST352: Information Analysis of Organizational Systems Course Description IST 659 course is a graduate level introduction to the important concepts of Data Architecture development and supporting methodologies that are used to instantiate the physical creation of Relational Applications and Object Oriented Databases that are used to support the applications from a systems view. These activities are assigned to a Data Architect, and NOT a Database Administrator. Based on this concept of Data Architecture we will examine data elements, their structures, records, constructs, and relationships through data analysis, normalization and de-normalization, and modeling by the development of entityrelationship models, referred to as ERD. The secondary area of focus is the Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) that are needed as the platform that will manage and host these Relational Applications and Object Oriented Databases. A RDBMS is necessary for these databases to be instantiated and administered by a Database Administrator, referred to as a DBA. Based on the DBA role, we will learn through the application the what, how, and where to use Structured Query Language, referred to as SQL. This SQL is based on Microsoft s Transact-SQL syntax and notation with reference to W3C which is the governing body for SQL standards relative to industry syntax and notation. This is very important because SQL has minor variations based on the heritage and vendorspecific notation and syntax. In addition, we will learn through application such components as In-Memory OLTP, OLAP for Data-Warehousing, Memory Optimization Advisor, Clustering, OLTP management, Data Coherence, etc. Our RDBMS platform that will be utilized in labs 4 through 8 will be Microsoft 2014 SQLServer. There will be several lectures on other key important RDBMSs, for example, Oracle 12c EE/SE, IBM DB2, etc., In support of Data Architecture and Database Administration this course focuses on the entire life-cycle from concept to implementation of relational and objects oriented databases. The key aspects of this lifecycle are as follows: 1. Capturing and understanding business requirements and the business logic behind them in the framework of a business architecture model. This key to a successful database implementation because a database is one of three tiers of a systems architecture model. In other words your data architecture specifications and models will not be derived from a data-centric view but rather a system view that includes the user interface and application tiers. Version 1.0 final draft Page 1 of 15 December 16 th, 2015

2 2. Reviewing the system architecture model to see how this database will be used, for example, managed reporting, transactional, distributed, client/server, clustered, and any relationships to a data-warehousing environment, etc. Also, taking into account the physical topologies of systems architecture, specifically when we are targeting a database to be used in the context of an extranet and internet enterprise-wide systems construct. 3. Developing data architecture specifications that are driven by an organization s business requirements. These specifications represent multi-dimensional views of your data relative to user interactions and application functionality in concert with the data. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) Class/Object Model is the basis for developing these specifications. These specifications, also known as models, are used as the process for verifying the correctness of those business requirements. 4. Creating logical and physical data models based on industry standards and methodologies will be the basis for validating the Class/Object Model. 5. Securing data from the perspective of data encryption, data vaults, schemas for replacing critical data with aliases, etc. 6. Instantiating the physical database and all its tables and/or objects onto a system platform comprised of an operating system and adequate server resources for supporting this database. 7. Writing System Language Queries (SQLs) to execute against the database for reporting, data, purposes as well as how to use web-enabled reporting tools. Using this life-cycle as the basis for understanding how databases are developed, deployed and managed; students will learn through applied knowledge, data modeling, database design and implementation as well as how to use managerial issues as the basis for continuous improvement. The following graphic represents what a completed data model looks like before it is used to instantiate the physical database: Version 1.0 final draft Page 2 of 15 December 16 th, 2015

This will explain why the life-cycle I described is critical to organizations that must make day-to-day business decisions based on information trends and knowledge gained. In our last class we will review advanced topics, for example, Data Analytics/Informatics supported by Big Data technologies, Hadoop, Content Databases such as MongoDB, XML Databases, scripting languages such as Hive, Pig, etc., and the important of Applied Statistics and Mathematics to this area of Data Analytics/Informatics Course Goal: The primary goal for this course is to provide graduate level management majors, the ability to understand projects that involve data and information aspects of systems architecture from a technical perspective. This ensures that they are supportive of the business strategies of the organization. In support of this goal are specific course objectives and corresponding learning outcomes. Version 1.0 final draft Page 3 of 15 December 16 th, 2015

4 Course Objectives/Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to demonstrate the following skills based on 3 key objectives: 1. Describe the fundamental concepts and methods of Data Architecture development and the instantiation of the physical creation of Relational Applications and Object Oriented Databases to Microsoft 2014 SQLServer RDBMS, a. Incorporate an organization s fundamental business rules in database modeling, b. Use prototyping as a rapid development method for implementing a database design as well as the selection and application of what rapid development methodology to use, c. Understand through application the design, development, and use of client/server databases, Internet databases, distributed databases, data-warehousing, and knowledge management. 2. Ability to use Data Modeling tools, for example, ERWin or Visio as the means to architect data models, and the ability to use these models to forward engineer the instantiation of the physical creation of Relational Applications and Object Oriented Databases to Microsoft 2014 SQLServer RDBMS, a. Transform a logical database to a physical database that takes into account hardware, operating system, data communication, and network requirements with the help of modeling tools such as Visio, ERWin, etc., 3. Ability to use RDBMS data management components to support and optimize Relational Applications and Object Oriented Databases that reside on a RDBMS, a. Develop SQL statements and execute against the database through ODBC/JDBC, or Web Services, b. Review of web-enabled tools, managed reporting environments, c. Comprehend important managerial issues involved in database design and operation about issues and concerns of database administration, including data integrity constraints, query processing, concurrency control, performance metrics, security, and recovery, d. Recommend and justify strategies for managing data security, privacy, audit/control, fraud detection, backup and recovery, i. Secure Relational Applications and Object Oriented Databases that reside on a RDBMS by using the specific database firewall component which is a key security component of a RDBMS to prevent, detect, and neutralize SQL Injection intrusions/attacks. e. Understand several key and advanced concepts of new developments in database technologies relative to the changes in middleware and web services. Method of Instruction: The approach to this class will consist of weekly lectures, a total of eight labs, individual in-depth project, and an individual research presentation. The expectations for this course are that all students obtain a detailed knowledge of the concepts presented and the application of them. Knowledge and application are two key critical components for a successful class. Finally, I want all students to keep in mind that learning is the application of what has been taught. It does not just understand the concepts but rather how you apply them and leverage what you have learned for future improvement relative to additional academic work in this discipline and/or in industry.

The MLA or APA format will be used for the Project Report and Individual Research Presentation: Advanced Subject Matter. Class Attendance/Participation and Exercises: Class attendance/participation is very critical for this class. Students are required to attend classes and actively participate in class discussions and exercises that the professor will supply as needed for re-enforcement of the concepts and the required labs. Students are required to post their completed in-class exercises to the corresponding forum in Blackboard which will be under the Discussions Section of Blackboard. These exercises are designed to encourage students to practice their newly learned knowledge, and thus the grading is based on participation only, not performance. At the end of the semester, all participations in the exercise forums will be tallied to calculate student grade in the class exercise category. If there is x number of exercises throughout the semester, and a student finishes a number of exercises in total, the student s grade is (y/x) * 12 Note: Only legitimate excuses with supporting document(s) wi ll be accepted for missing classes, such as job interviews and medical conditions. The instructor may recommend that a student be dropped from a course for poor achievement due to excessive absence. Version 1.0 final draft Page 6 of 15 December 16 th, 2015

7 Individual Research Presentation: Advanced Subject Matter: Students are required to conduct extensive research on advance subject matter and provide a 7 to 10 minute presentation with 3 to 5 minutes of questions/answers/discussions from your class peers. This is very important because knowledge and the formation of ideas/theory is derived from these peer reviews. This takes place in industry; therefore, these peer reviews are meant to simulate this process so that you are better prepared for industry. The professor shall provide and post to Blackboard a *.pptx template for your presentation, and a *pptx file that will have Advance Subject Matter recommendations in order to get you to think through the development of you presentation. Required Labs 1 through 8: Eight lab assignments will be given during the semester. Follow the instructions on the lab manual to complete the assignments. You are free to discuss the assignments with your classmates, but you must write up the report yourself. Assignments must be professionally prepared and submitted electronically to the Blackboard. No hand-writing or hand-drawing assignments will be accepted. All assignments should be submitted in Word files named as Lab_Num_Lastname_Firstname.doc(x). Grades for the assignments and the graded assignments with comments will be made available in the Blackboard. Late Assignments: All Assignments shall be delivered on time by 11:59pm ET per Wednesday as defined in the Class Syllabus by required date Late submissions shall be penalized by 20% per assignment if not provided during the 24 hour period after the required date, 50% per assignment if not provided during the 48 hour period after the required date, and finally 100% after the 48 hour period.

Data Normalization 4. SQL I DDL 5. SQL II DML single-table query 6. SQL III DML multi-table query 7. Views and Transactions 8. Client/Server database Version 1.0 final draft Page 7 of 15 December 16 th, 2015

8 Project Report: The goal of this project is to have you apply the knowledge gained in conjunction with the hands-on skills acquired while working with required class technologies/tools to architect, construct and instantiate the physical creation of a Relational Applications and/or Object Oriented Database. The professor shall provide and post to Blackboard a *.docx template for students to document each subsection of the template that aligns to the required sub-sections for their project. These sub-sections are listed in the section of this syllabus, entitled, Assessment This project shall be worked on during the course of the semester with defined deliverable dates as represented in the section of this syllabus entitled, Class Schedule. The professor shall provide feedback per sub-section and provide the opportunity for students to revise previous sub-sections based on the rationale that data architecture can change based on changes to your proposal/concept or the database developed. This approach is referred to as Agile development based on Reverse and Forward Engineering principles which is reality in industry. The following content descriptions provides clarity on what is required per sub-section in support of the *.docx template being used for this project. In addition, the sub-sections defined in the template also have annotations; thus, providing further clarity by examples. Sub-Sections Proposa/Concept Design Report Implementation Content Descriptions This sub-section contains an overview of the Data Management Problem, Business Process/Rules that is impacted by this problem, and the Proposed Solution that involves a well-defined set of logic explains hoe the problems shall be corrected through the reengineering of a process that will become the driver to the development of the data architecture model that will then be used as the means to generate the actual physical set of relational applications tables and their relationships. This sub-section uses the Proposal/Concept output as input into development of the data architecture which culminates into an ERD Model (Logical/Physical views) that is in a normalized state. Therefore, this sub-section shall contain the ERD model annotated with descriptive and supporting verbiage. Note: changes may be required to content for previous sub-section based on improvements and/or revised changes in the ERD Model. This is normal and referred to as Agile Development. The primary deliverable for this sub-section is the instantiation of the Relational Applications Database. Based on this Relational Applications Database, you Version 1.0 final draft Page 8 of 15 December 16 th, 2015

9 Sub-Sections Content Descriptions should be able to address the SQL Statements, Access Forms and Reports listed below: This sub-section should include SQL Statements for Data Definition and Data Manipulation, supported by screen shots of the actual results output of the queries This sub-section should include Data Forms and Data Reports based on using Access 2013, by establishing a table link to the SQLServer Relational Applications Database that was created by students or if Access 2013 was used to build the Relational Applications Database then there is no need to establish a link. Demonstration This sub-section addresses the documentation and execution of several scenarios based on your Business Process/Rules of the Relational Applications Database. This execution of these scenarios will be in the context of a walk-through presentation to the class in which students will participate in a Technology Walk-Through for the purpose of discussion, improvements, ideas, and constructively critiquing the technical merits of the Relational Applications Database being presented.

10 Grading Scale: The following are grade expectations and divisions according to the grading policy of the School of Information Studies. An "A" means the student has the capability to independently build a small-scale database for a client. If a student had a difficult start at the beginning of the semester but ended up finishing a very highquality project, his or her project performance will be considered in the final adjustment of the grade. Grades will not be curved in this class. Letter Grade Points Assigned per Letter Grade A A B B B C C C D F 0-59 Course Policies: This course will use the SU Blackboard System as the primary means for communications. Students are required to check their Blackboard accounts on a regular basis. Important announcements will be posted to the Announcements board. Failure to read the class announcements will not be considered a suitable excuse for not being informed. The Blackboard can be accessed at Questions regarding the Blackboard should be directed to ilms@syr.edu or Peggy Brown at Note: All s to the professor should contain in the subject line beginning with [IST 659] Syracuse University s Academic Integrity Policy holds students accountable for the integrity of the work they submit. Students should be familiar with the policy and know that it is their responsibility to learn about course- specific expectations, as well as about university policy. The university policy governs appropriate citation and use of sources, the integrity of work submitted in exams and assignments, and the veracity of signatures on attendance sheets and other verification of participation in class activities. The policy also prohibits students from submitting the same written work in more than one class without receiving written authorization in advance from both instructors. The presumptive penalty for a first offense by an undergraduate student is course failure, accompanied by a transcript notation indicating that the failure resulted from a violation of Academic Integrity Policy. The standard sanction for a first offense by a graduate student is suspension or expulsion.
