Course Objective

The objective of this course is to give a complete and thorough vision of what is information system analysis and design. Particular emphasis is on Data and Process perspectives of a system. How they are modeled and analyzed. The creation of Entity Relationship Diagrams and Data Flow Diagrams is elaborated. It is also aimed to give an introductory level of Object Oriented modeling, with the emphasis on Unified Modeling Language. The relations between Data, Process and Object perspectives are discussed.
