About This Course
This course provides an introduction to the modeling of Information Systems,
from understanding organizational needs to representing a system through
structured models. It introduces the fundamental concepts of Information
Systems, requirements engineering, system modeling, UML (Unified Modeling
Language), and Model-Driven Engineering (MDE).
Through theoretical explanations, examples, case studies, and practical
activities, learners will progressively develop the ability to analyze
system requirements and represent different aspects of an Information
System using appropriate modeling techniques. The course also introduces
the role of models and model transformations in software development and
presents the main concepts related to Information System architectures.
The course is designed to provide learners with a structured approach to
moving from a real-world problem and its requirements to a formal
representation of the proposed Information System. It is particularly
relevant for students and professionals interested in Information Systems,
Software Engineering, UML, and digital system design.
Requirements
Basic knowledge of computer science, algorithms, data structures, and
software engineering is recommended. No previous experience with UML or
Model-Driven Engineering is required, as these concepts will be introduced
progressively throughout the course.
