Objectives of the Course To provide a comprehensive foundation for information systems development starting from systems thinking and systems theory; to enable students to understand information system types and architectures, analyze system requirements, model business processes and data, and apply system design and project planning methods. The course also aims to provide fundamental knowledge of agile approaches, system integration, implementation, testing, quality, risk, and security, while developing awareness of emerging approaches such as AI-driven and smart systems.
Course Content Systems thinking and systems theory; information, Management Information Systems, Decision Support Systems, and Expert Systems; information system types and architectures; Systems Development Life Cycle and agile approaches; project planning techniques; requirements engineering; business process modeling; conceptual data modeling and ER diagrams; object-oriented analysis and UML; system and user interface design; system architecture and integration; implementation, testing, and deployment; quality, risk, and security; emerging trends in AI-driven and smart systems.
