  2. Motivation • Implementing e-Commerce track • Resolving a gap between industry and academia in e-Commerce • Versatile nature of, so called, “current technology” • Need flexible courses for current technology

  3. MSIS 2000 Model Curriculum • Graduate programs in Information Systems. • Building Blocks • Foundation • Backgrounds: Business and Information Systems • Core • A set of primary courses • Integration • Integration components required after the core • Career track • Specific career tracks that are representative of current organizational needs

  4. MSIS 2000 Suggested e-Commerce Courses • Internet, Intranets, and Extranets • Electronic Commerce • WWW and the Value Chain • Consumer Relationship Marketing

  8. E-Business Application Software • e-Business application software is software that uses the Internet or other electronic medium for business transactions and services. • Electronic catalog

  9. MIDDLEWARE • Middleware is a mechanism to move information and shared business logic • Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) type • Message Oriented Message (MOM) type • Message Broker type

  11. DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS • Data oriented B2B applications heavily depend on access to databases. • Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) • Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) • Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) • Adaptable Database (Adabas) • Object Linking and Embedding Database (OLE DB)

  12. E-Commerce Interpretability Standards • B2B interoperability standards involve description of message formats exchanged, relationships to transport protocols, and other features, such as security. • Extensible Markup Language (XML) • Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) • Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) • Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM)

  13. E-COMMERCE INTEROPERABILITY STANDARDS • Remote Method Invocation (RMI) • Component Object Model (COM+) • Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) • ebXML (electronic business XML) • RosettaNet

  14. STATE OF ACADEMIA • Certificate programs • There has not been a unique agreement, nor model. • Predominantly management-oriented programs • Predominantly technology-oriented programs • Predominantly ethics and legal issues oriented programs

  15. Management-Oriented Programs • Stand-alone tracks in graduate business schools • Emphasize the business side of the e-Commerce • Technical details are not emphasized

  16. Technology-Oriented Programs • Emphasize the programming aspects of doing e-commerce.
