Aim: To enable the students to design an information system for an industrial company by the use of information technology, i.e. organize and carry through a CIM project, using appropriate methods for analysis, modeling techniques and procedures in cooperation with the involved employees.
Contents: Introduction:
- a brief historic overview of the development of information technology and the challenge which confronts industry
- course topics related to strategic, tactic, and operational planning.
The course gives an overview of the following topics:
- the CIM project life-cycle: contents, technical and managerial aspects.
- the technical aspects: phases, activities and methods.
- the managerial aspects: aim, resources, organisation and task assignments, review and project progress control, retainment of experiences, and motivation.
The following subjects are treated in depth:
- phase one of the development project life-cycle: problem analysis, formulation of requirements specification. Application and contents of function modelling and information modelling (and briefly about process
modelling).
- databases with focus on relational databases, SQL, three-scheme architecture, and application design.
- the application of prototyping in the different life-cycle phases.
- the importance of project documentation.
- standard systems, generic modelling, and standardisation.
- general architectures of relevance.
Object-oriented technology and life-cycle is outlined and discussed at the end of the course.
The exercisis deal with function modelling, information modelling, SQL and relational databases. The group work consists in the modelling and specification of a small information system.
