Qualification objectives

The aim of this subject is to provide students with concepts, praqcitical skills and theoretical knowledge used in the digital modeling of businesses (processes, structures and so on) and design of information systems. Furthermore, theoretical foundations of the development of information systems of various classes are considered. The existing methodological approaches to the modeling and design of information systems, in particular, structural and object-oriented, are compared. The basic information about the Unified Modeling Language (UML) is given.

Based on the architecture of business information systems, the general similarities, differences and interfaces of the profile lines of process-oriented business systems and product-oriented information systems in organizations are taught.

Moreover, an inside into mathematical modeling of business problems using networks is given. In addition the network models will be applied for solving practical problems. 

Completing this subject, students will be able to analyze the individual and collective performance of a business using management and monitoring tools and know the principles of modeling. Furthermore, students are able to design information systems align with company structures and goals.
