State University of New York at AlbanyAcc 683 Topics in Accounting Information Systems Spring, 2002 J GangollyWelcomeWelcome to Acc 683 and to the world of electronic commerce. This course is not a requirement for the one-year or two-year M.S. Degrees in the Department, and therefore I assume that you have made a committment to be an information systems professional. I shall assume that you have had Acc 681 and Acc 682 during the fall semester. If you have not had them, I assume that you are quite familiar with the Java programming language (including the skills related to reading and using Java JDK (Standard Edition) API documentation, fundamentals of relational database theory, SQL, ODL, Basic JDBC programming, knowledge of data structures to the extent covered in Acc 682, and, of course, the background in using the unix operating system. You have access to one of the finest stocked (in terms of hardware as well as software) computing facility any where in the Andersen Laboratory. We have most major industrial strength databases (Oracle, DB2, and SQLServer) as well as toy database systems such as Microsoft Access and Visual FoxPro. Use the facilities in the Andersen Laboratory for Accounting Information Systems. Enjoy!

You are expected to have done the readings well ahead of the class. Class time is to be used for the clarification of any doubts that you may have. Do not expect to merely listen to the instructor and gain knowledge. A sound understanding of the theory and its use in practice is essential to excel in the field. You are required to demonstrate competence in the topics covered in order to receive an acceptable grade. I shall be giving occasional homework assignments. I also shall be calling upon some of you to come to the board and discuss problems either in the textbooks, other sources, or homework when assigned. Newsgroup/e-mail: I shall be using the class newsgroup (sunya.class.acc683) extensively for making announcements regarding tests, homework, quizzes, added links to this course homepage, etc. In fact, the newsgroup will be the primary means of communication between us outside of the class. You should post to the newsgroup all your questions and doubts for clarification. You are strongly encouraged to answer queries posted by others, and such responses will count towards class participation points for grading. You should communicate with me via e-mail only for individual problems and questions. Access to The Andersen Laboratory for Accounting Information Systems: As a graduate student in the Department, you have access to the Arthur Andersen Laboratory. You will need to get from Ms. Lisa Scholz the password to enter the lab. Contact her in BA 365 as soon as possible. Should you have special requirements for software (DBMS servers) or hardware (Windows 2000 Servers) for your projects, let me know, and arrangements will be made for your access. You may use there only software that is announced in the class. You also will need logins to the University unix cluster and the Department's Windows 2000 server. You will need to apply on-line for an account on the unix cluster, and contact the Graduate Assistants regarding login for the Windows 2000 server. You can not use any machine in the lab without these logins. It is a good idea for you to use the same PC in the lab so that you can save your work. If you use different machines, please save your work by ftp-ing to your unix account.
