ORIE 3800 Information Systems and Analysis
Spring. 4 credits.
A systematic and hierarchical approach to the development of information systems, featuring business case justification, requirements analysis, use case analysis, functional analysis, structural design, object-oriented modeling, database design, verification and validation, and project schedule estimation. Graphical tools of analysis (e.g., the Unified Modeling Language) are emphasized. Examples are drawn from business and industrial processes. An integrative design project resulting in a detailed information system design specification (but not necessarily implementation) is required.
