Publisher's description
This paper describes the experience with a pilot deployment of a virtual computer laboratory at a medium sized public university. The virtual computer laboratory pilot is a technology transfer of the virtual computer laboratory developed by North Carolina State University. The technology provides scalable, high performance computing resources requested through an internet browser and accessed through either a remote desktop connection or ssh client. This paper includes a brief review of virtualization, a review of instructional uses of virtualization, a description of "Cloud" computing, the North Carolina State University implementation history, the pilot experience and lessons learned.

The transition to object-oriented software presents a challenge to Information Systems (IS) educators, especially in the area of systems analysis and design, as familiar structured methods give way to the Unified Modeling Language (UML). This paper summarizes the principal similarities and differences between structured and object-oriented approaches and provides advice about strategies for teaching analysis and design with UML. Analysis strategies include: capturing the content and structure of inputs in the use case narratives, constructing the domain model one use case at a time, and expressing pre- and post conditions for the contracts in terms of the domain model. Strategies for teaching object-oriented design include: working one use case at a time, and starting with three basic design patterns.

Software project management methodologies that have developed in the past couple of decades have done so to address the endemic problem of software project failures caused, in a large part, by lack of planning and poor execution. Methodologies like Waterfall, Sashimi, Spiral and Agile have all become key tools in a project manager's tool box. With so many methodologies littering the software development domain, it begs the question as to which development methodology is the right one for a particular project. How does a project manager know which methodology available today is the right one to produce satisfactory results? This paper addresses these questions and also how to aid students in their understanding of these choices.
