		New information, ranging from gene sequence data to records of oceanic earthquakes to presidential polling results, is growing rapidly each year. The use of information and databases in virtually all aspects of modern life is both an indispensable aspect of modern society and a potential risk to our privacy, security, and even our identity. How do modern databases work? How is database information organized and distributed? How are databases protected from intrusion and other unauthorized uses? We will learn how to build and use databases in order to answer these questions using domains such as biology, economics, and psychology. Basic computational constructs such as variables, functions, parameters, and control structures will be used to solve interesting database problems.
7060	CPSC-110-06	Open Source Sftwr for Humanity	1.00	LEC	Morelli,Ralph A.	MWF: 11:00AM-11:50AM	TBA		NUM
		Enrollment limited to 25
		Free and open source software (FOSS) is software that can be modified, customized, and redistributed by users and programmers. From its modest beginnings in the 1970s through the rapid growth of the Internet and the Linux operating system, today's open source software movement is a global enterprise involving hundreds of thousands of programmers working together on thousands of software programs. A growing number of FOSS programs have a humanitarian focus. In this course, we will both learn about and contribute to a real open source project. We will work with the Sahana system, a crisis management system that was built in the aftermath of the Asian tsunami. We will learn to write Web-based application software using FOSS tools. Come and join the open source movement.
