COBOL in 2001
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper discussing this programming language's likely
future. COBOL has outlived all sorts of advances in hardware, software and uses, many
of which were expected to place COBOL's final nail. However, it is clear that COBOL is
will remain a significant force in business applications. Not only do existing legacy
systems center on the language, but 15% of all new development currently is in COBOL.
Those universities that have abandoned teaching the language completely do their students
no favor. Though it likely should not be required of all computer students, it should
remain available as an elective subject. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

ColdFusion and Web Development
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report discusses is
described in the sales’ catalog literature as “a powerful
platform for creating and deploying dynamic web applications.
Developers like ColdFusion because its simple, tag-based language
makes it easy to handle simple tasks, like processing form data
and querying databases.” Created in 1995 by two brothers in
Massachusetts, it is fundamentally a “database-oriented,
server-side scripting and programming tool” that has come to be
the leader in its unique market realm. Bibliography lists 3
sources.

Comparing the ISA of the 80x86 and the MIPS R2000
[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page
paper discussing these two approaches. The MIPS R2000 was introduced in 1986, eight
years after Intel's first 8086 chip that later became the 80x86 in various incarnations. A
new Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) was introduced for each wider subsequent word
length and followed the 1985 introduction of the 80386. Though the ISAs of the 80x86
and the R2000 accomplish the same ends, they arrive at those ends via very different
paths. It is likely that the 80x86 ISA will contintue to be developed because of continued
backward compatibility, but the RISC approach is likely now to gain greater attention and
acceptability as well. Three illustrations. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Comparing Two Studies
[ send me this paper ]
This 4 page paper considers two studies; “An Empirical Study of the Causal Antecedents of Customer Confidence in E-Tailers” by Sandeep Krishnamurthy and “Organizational commitment and ethical behavior: An empirical study of information system professionals” by Effy Oz. Both look at the impact and perception of information technology, the first at e-commerce and how customers perceive risk, the second at the role of IS professionals. The paper outlines their purpose, hypotheses and the value they may provide as well as comparing the two studies. The bibliography cites 2 sources.
