Specification of Information Systems (233030)
Course name NL	Specification of information systems
Year of study	2007
Course description	The aim of this course is to improve the conceptual modeling and functional specification competencies of the student. We do this independently from any particular method. We treat function specification techniques, enity modeling, data flow modeling state transition diagram tables and diagrams (including statecharts) and communication diagrams. We show how these fit into structured and object-oriented methods, and how these can be placed in a system-theoretic information system design framework. We also show what the semantic choices in interpreting these techniques are. The student is challenged to reflect on his or her use of these techniques.
Content	We treat all major IS design techniques in-depth, and show how they can be integrated.
Objective	To extend and deepen the information system design competencies.
