Study Notes
System Integration and Architecture
- Requirements elicitation identifies what a software system must fulfill to resolve a business problem.
- Requirements modeling involves creating representations of these identified needs.
Key Course Components
- Project management emphasizes planning and executing projects within defined constraints.
- Project development methodologies outline structured approaches to software creation.
- Software and hardware acquisition involves procuring necessary technologies to meet project requirements.
Data and Information
- Data consists of raw facts and figures; it is unprocessed and lacks context.
- Information emerges when data is organized or processed, providing meaning and context.
Types of Information
- Conceptual Information: Represents theoretical concepts or principles (e.g., psychological theories, philosophical ideas).
- Empirical Information: Based on observation and experimentation (e.g., clinical trial results, climate data).
- Stimulatory Information: Aims to provoke reactions (e.g., impactful advertisements, motivational speeches).
- Policy Information: Relates to laws and guidelines affecting society (e.g., environmental regulations, public health data).
- Descriptive Information: Provides detailed descriptions of objects, events, or situations (e.g., product descriptions, eyewitness accounts).
Classification of Information
- Public Data: Freely accessible and reusable information (e.g., employee names, press releases).
- Internal-only Data: Restricted to internal personnel, includes sensitive communications and plans.
- Confidential Data: Requires authorization for access (e.g., Social Security numbers).
- Restricted Data: Highly sensitive, unauthorized access may lead to legal consequences.
Characteristics of Useful Information
- Completeness: Ensures all necessary data is available for informed decision-making.
- Cost-Effective: The cost of information collection should adhere to budget limits.
- Accuracy: Collected data must be reliable and contain correct facts to aid in effective decision-making.
