This course continues from where 2156 Advanced Financial Information Systems ended. After the introduction, we briefly return to data mining. Then we look at how, and why, financial information systems can and should communicate with each other, which means a dual focus on XML-based standards and the economics of electronic commerce. There are five computer exercises, dealing with XML, and one AIS case, where you’ll analyze if – and how – technologies related to electronic commerce might be utilized in a real company.

In addition, the exam will encompass the lectures and material separately assigned or handed out.
The course will be graded based on written examinations, project work, and computer exercises.
The examination will be worth 60 points. A minimum of 50% of the points (30) are required to pass the exam.
There will be 5 computer exercises during the course. They will be worth 6 points each, for a total of 30. In order to pass, you have to submit all 5 exercises, and collect a total of at least 15 points (50%) from them. The exercises may (preferably!) be done and submitted in groups of two people.
The AIS case project, part II, will be worth 10 points. Once again, 50% (5 out of 10) is required. This project will be done, presented, and submitted, in groups of 4-6 people.
In order to pass the course, you consequently need to:
Your grade, on a scale of 1 (satisfactory) to 5 (excellent), will be based on your total points (between 50 and 100) on the standard scale.
