Information Systems Analysis and Design

• 39 hrs lectures
• 13 hrs projects

• Students will know fundamentals of essential stages in information system development at a level, which is further evolved in specialized subjects.
• They will be able to develop suitable models during information system requirements analysis and design, mainly in the UML language.

Students will learn how to analyze a design solution of a given problem in a small team. They learn to present and defend  both partial and final results of the project.

The goal of the subject is to give students knowledge of methods and tools used in information system development and to learn them to apply these methods and tools.

• Basic knowledge of software engineering. 
• Knowledge of the paradigms of and practical experience with object-oriented programming.

1. Software process, software development lifecycle models.
2. Modelling techniques of the  UML 2.0 - object structure modelling, use case modelling.
3. Modelling techniques of the  UML 2.0 - interaction, state and activity modelling, component and deployment modelling. Other types of diagrams.
4. Introduction to Unified Process. Inception.
5. Elaboration, domain model.
6. Architecture design - dependencies and their elimination, layers.
7. Architectural patterns and frameworks. Model-View-Controller pattern. Particularity of web applications.
8. Introduction to JEE platform, SOA.
9. Class design, GRASP principles.
10. Design patterns.
11. Comments to programming, test-driven design, refactoring.
12. Modelling techniques and activities in next iterations.
13. A lecture of an expert from industry.

Duty credit consists of submitting and defending project results, and of obtaining at least 24 points for activities during semester.

• Mid-term written examination - 14 point
• Evaluated project with the defense (four partial submissions) - 35 points
• Final written examination - 51 points; The minimal number of points which can be obtained from the final exam is 20. Otherwise, no points will be assigned to the student.
