We will use a cloud computing platform: Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) to deploy and host applications developed as programming projects for the course.
Though SWE 619 is the only required prerequisite, other topics such as web based Java programming (HTML, JavaScript, Servlets, JSPs) and database programming (JDBC) are going to be used throughout this course. Therefore, background knowledge will be helpful. SWE 642, though not a required prerequisite, is a great background course for these topics. The class will be very practical (how to build things) and require extensive programming assignments.
Changing an assignment after the due date without prior permission will be treated as a late submission. Late submissions carry an automatic 10 percent deduction in grade for each week that it is late. Late assignments will not be accepted after 2 weeks. No homeworks will be accepted after the start of the last lecture of the semester. Assignments will be graded on the correctness of the code and the adherence to the requirements. A more detailed description on the homework grading will be included with the homework requirements when assigned.
Since we will be focusing our efforts on EJB 3.1, it would be a good idea to be consistent with the software versions that will be used in class. Currently we will be using Java 6/7 and Jboss 7.1. It is your responsibility to have the homework assignments in working order. I also expect to be able to deploy your assignment on my local laptop. I highly recommend downloading and installing the JBoss Applcation Server on your own computer, so that you can still complete your assignments, even if your application server, or Internet connection, is down. More information regarding JBoss and its use will be covered in class.
Programs will be graded on style and formatting as well as correctness.

George Mason's policy concerning student conduct applies. Although students are encouraged to discuss the topics covered in class, all homework assignments, exams, and projects are to be completed individually, unless joint work is explicitly authorized by the instructor. If joint work is authorized, all contributing students must be listed on the submission. Any deviation from this is considered an Honor Code violation, and, as a minimum, will result in failure of the submission and, as a maximum, failure of the class.
Please note that there are two honor code policies: an abstract GMU policy and a more specific departmental policy with regard to code plagiarism, test-taking, etc. The students can find them here: Honor Code Policies
Disabilities
If you are a student with a disability and you need academic accommodations, please see me and contact the Disability Resource Center (DRC) at 993-2474. All academic accommodations must be arranged through the DRC.
