Study Notes
Module Overview
- Module titled "BIS Design and Architecture," focusing on the design and architecture of Business Information Systems (BIS).
- Key components include lectures and tutorials delivered over a twelve-week period.
- Dr. Vassiliki Bouki is the module leader and tutor, available online every Tuesday from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM.
Module Content
- Introduction covers essential information regarding the module including contacts, aims, teaching schedule, assessment methods, and recommended sources.
- Topics on developing BIS range from analysis to design and architecture, indicating a comprehensive curriculum.
Business Information Systems (BIS)
- BIS provides organizations with crucial information for effective and efficient management, primarily through computer systems and technology.
- Core elements of BIS: hardware, software, data, procedures (design, development, documentation), and personnel.
- The term "e-Business Information Systems" is also relevant, highlighting the digital aspect of business information management.
Complexity of BIS Development
- Construction of even a basic BIS can be quite complex, incorporating multiple components and stakeholders.
- Development involves various perspectives: end user, developer, and owner/sponsor, emphasizing the need to consider different viewpoints in the design process.
Stakeholders in Information Systems Development
- Three primary types of stakeholders in IS projects:
- End users: individuals who directly or indirectly benefit from the system's outputs.
- Commissioners: those who initiate, fund, or sponsor the development project, playing a crucial role in project viability.
Design Approaches
- The module explores different design methodologies:
- Procedural approach, focusing on step-by-step processes.
- Object-Oriented (OO) approach, emphasizing objects and classes as core concepts, which are fundamental in OO design.
UML and Diagrams
- UML (Unified Modeling Language) and UML diagrams are significant tools in representing and designing BIS, aiding in visualizing the system's components and interactions.
Conclusion
- The module aims to equip students with knowledge and skills necessary for effective BIS design and architecture, incorporating theoretical and practical perspectives to enhance understanding.
