APPLIED SYSTEM THINKING (SE-O-06)AIMS:The module presents a unifying philosophical approach to the post-graduate curriculum inSoftware Engineering. Applied systems thinking is used as a practical tool to view holisticallyorganisations, information systems, and organisational change and integration.The aims of the module are:• To develop in students the knowledge of the use of systems models representing theenvironment, in order to simplify problem solving in the real world and contemplatepurposeful activity in business organisations.• To develop in students an understanding of systems practice through practical application oftools, methods and techniques.• To develop in students knowledge and skills relevant to the organisational intervention andmanagement of change.• To engender in students an understanding and appreciation of the uses of informationtechnology to improve business performance at strategic and operational levels.LEARNING OUTCOMES:Upon successful completion of this module, the student will be able to:• understand hard systems thinking concepts and their application to change situations inbusiness organisations;• apply soft systems methods and tools to provide a holistic approach to solving complexsocio-technical problems within organisations;• understand the key role of modern information systems in organisational integration withinthe context of global marketplaces.SYLLABUS CONTENT:• Background: pace of change, integration and need for holistic approach for business.• Systems concepts and constructs: general systems theory; hard systems thinking fororganisational change; soft systems approach and its relevance to business organisations;viable systems model; systems thinking skills; creative thinking; visualising problems; powerof team thinking.• Organisation as an information system: data, information and knowledge; organisationaldecision-making; communication models; new economics of information;• Organisational development and integration: nature of organisations and stages oforganisational growth; process of organisational transformation and integration; impact ofglobal markets and e-commerce and m-commerce on organisations.PREREQUISITES: NoneRECOMMENDED ASSESMENT: Coursework and unseen paperhttp://perun.im.ns.ac.yu/msc-se/ 28
BUSINESS MODELLING (SE-O-07)AIMS:This module is motivated by the belief that it better to develop the right product than developingthe product right. Fundamental to achieving this is two-fold:• to be able to model and analyse business objectives and processes, and• to convert the business model to a requirement statement.For the former the module will utilise UML features and also introduces new features (such ascontract diagram). The second item is dealt with by developing the Gap-Navigator which is anotion based on software refinement. In this module we will be addressing various businessmodelling including B2C (Business to Customer), B2B (Business to Business), …Throughout the module real-life case studies from real small and medium sizedenterprises (SMEs) will be given.LEARNING OUTCOMES:Upon successful completion of this module, the student will be able to:• model businesses and business processes using UML;• assess current business practices and establish baselines for process improvement;• produce a model that accurately reflects the reality of business;• leverage established business patterns to solve commonly recurring problems;• develop effective and efficient communications strategies;• structure models to maximise organisational performance;• transfer a business model into a requirement model.SYLLABUS CONTENT:• Why model?• Assessment of business status.• Description of current business (various case studies and scenarios).• Identification of business processes.• Various business modelling including B2C, B2B, …• Business process realisation.• Interaction of use-case realisations.• Process automation.• Transition from business model to requirements model.PREREQUISITES: NoneRECOMMENDED ASSESMENT: Coursework and unseen paperhttp://perun.im.ns.ac.yu/msc-se/ 29
