Languages 479-1, 579-1 Summer 1996 Syllabus "Mining the networks" Maurizio Oliva, Stephen Miller, Jeff Egan email mnsu96@italia.hum.utah.edu O 1303 LNCO 585-3008, H 537-7016 Office hours: Tuesday 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM or by appointment Class time: Tuesday and Thursday 2:15-4:30 PM Mac Lab, Marriott Library 3rd floor Course descriptionThis is an Internet text, and as such it must be conceived as a process not as a fixed document.
"Mining the Networks" is a class designed to explore the tools and services made available by the Internet. The course addresses U of U graduate and undergraduate students who are interested in applying the resources available on the Internet to their research and study. All the students will be required to establish an account on U.CC.UTAH.EDU with the Computer Center (for help please contact the CC business office at 581-6802); during the first class meeting the instructor will help those who still do not have one to register for it. Home connectivity by PPP or such is strongly encouraged. For help contact the Computer Center at 585-4357. There is a series of protocols that constitutes the skeleton of Internet communication such as electronic mail (E-Mail), interactive login on a remote machine (telnet), File Transfer Protocol (ftp), interactive communication in real time with another user (talk, write,Internet Relay Chat etc.), retrieval of information on other users (Finger, Who, Ph, etc.), information retrieval systems such as Gopher, World Wide Web (in its implementations such Netscape and Lynx etc.), libs, WAIS etc; we will discuss also about the types of connection; such as via modem (terminal, PPP, etc.) and via dedicated line.
The next step will be Netscape (an implementation of WWW), thefreeware available on PC and Mac that is becoming the Graphic UserInterface to everything on Internet. We will be accessing Netscape fromthe LRC mac lab, but we will discuss also how to run the same interface from home, through a Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) connection. The ultimate goal of this course is to enable students to produce HTML, documents containing image maps, forms, images, sounds, animation and to make them available on the WWW server of the University of Utah.
The class will meet twice per week in two-hour sessions through the quarter. A great deal of interaction will take place on the mailing list of the workshop to pose or answer questions or participate to a discussion. More tools of interactive communication will be introduced lately and will be used for course activity. All the training sessions will be followed by assigned readings on the textbook, or on documents retrieved directly from the Internet. Each student will be asked to read and work on the assigned material between one session and the following session, to give a presentation and to produce an HTML page on a chosen topic of personal interest, by the end of the course.
The hands on approach has been chosen as the most suitable to our
enterprise. We are not and do not want to become computer scientists. We
want though learn how to reach and to use some services that are available
on the Internet. The collaborative learning approach is suggested by two
factors: the changing nature of the Internet that is continuously
expanding, and the need to tailor the course contents to suit the
individual interests of each of the participants.
