• CIS 301: Programming Languages

  3.00 Credits

  Cheyney University of Pennsylvania

  
  The study of programming languages examines the essential concepts that are common to modern programming languages. A broad range of issues is considered. Techniques for formal specification of syntax are presented. Several essential features of modern programming languages are discussed, including information binding, control structures, scope rules, data types and data abstraction, concurrency, recursion, input/output, and execution environment. Four different computational models or paradigms for programming languages are considered: the imperative, functional, logic-oriented and object-oriented models. Examples are drawn from a number of existing languages, such as Ada, LISP, FORTRAN, COBOL, Pascal and C. Pre-Requisite: CIS207 Offered: Spring Term Previous Course ID - CIS201

• CIS 302: Computer Operating Systems

  3.00 Credits

  Cheyney University of Pennsylvania

  
  Study includes the basic principles of operating system design and implementation. Consideration is given to the general architecture of several representative computer systems; management of memory, processors and devices; file systems; protection; operating systems design techniques; performance measurement and evaluation. A case study of a representative operating system is used to illustrate these principles. Pre-Requisite:CIS207 Offered: Spring Term Previous Course ID - CIS211

• CIS 303: Compiler Construction

  3.00 Credits

  Cheyney University of Pennsylvania

  
  The study of compilers through programming language structures, translation, loading, execution, and storage allocation. Compilation of simple expressions and statements is covered. The organization of a compiler includes compile-time and scan-time, symbol tables, lexical scan, syntax scan, object code generation, errors, diagnostics, object code, optimization techniques, and overall design. This is illustrated through the use of compiler-writing languages and bootstrapping. Pre-Requisite: CIS207 Offered: Fall Term Previous Course ID - CIS231

• CIS 413: Software Engineering Using Ada

  3.00 Credits

  Cheyney University of Pennsylvania

  
  The student studies the nature of the program development task when many people, many modules, many versions, or many years are involved in designing, developing, and maintaining the system. The issues are both technical (e.g., design, specification, version control) and administrative (e.g., cost estimation and elementary management). The course will consist primarily of working on the cooperative creation and modification of software systems. Pre-Requisite: CIS102 or Permission of Instructor Prerequisite:    CIS 102
