Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

The course consists of, and is examined by, five assignments with the following preliminary content, the final assignments will be presented at the beginning of the course:

  • General modeling – The student should, given a previously well known area, create a modeling language that can be used to describe the area.
  • Adaptation of modeling language – The student should, given the entities of a modeling language, identify and describe plausible relations between the entities.
  • Views – The student should, given a enterprise architecture framework and a modeling language, identify which entities of the language that is relevant in different parts of the framework.
  • Refinement of modeling language – The student should, given entities in a modeling language, describe instances of these entities.
  • Enterprise architecture modeling – the student should model the complete IT support for a specific organization.

Lectures will be given in order to introduce the students to the assignments and the topic in general. The assignments will be presented in the seminars and handed in as written reports.

Intended learning outcomes

Upon completion of this course the participants should be able to:

  • Describe and explain components of an IT-system.
  • Describe and explain different types of IT-systems that organizations utilize for support of their business.
  • Choose among and apply existing IT-system modeling languages.
  • Create new IT-system modeling languages.
  • Describe and explain how organizations can use IT-systems in a rational and cost efficient manner.
