CPE/CSC 580 Spring 2001 Syllabus

General Information

Textbooks

To the best of my knowledge, there are no suitable textbooks available for this course. Most of the books and articles on "knowledge management" are written with a business perspective, usually concentrating on the role of knowledge in corporations. Textbooks on Knowledge-based Systems and Artificial Intelligence mostly concentrate on the direct representation and manipulation of knowledge through computers, rather than on the support that computers can offer for human-centered knowledge management.

Additional Material

Further material will be made available through handouts in class, and through pointers to relevant Web pages.

The following table gives an overview of the calculation of the grades. I reserve the right, however, to change the formula used. Please note that the project consists of several parts which will be evaluated separately. The project will be done in teams, and the performance of the team as a whole will be graded unless there is a clear disparity in the contribution of the individual team members. Should this be the case, I might ask for additional documentation like work sheets, email messages, or draft copies of documentation to evaluate individual contributions.
