Possible changes to your unit's learning activities and assessment items

As a result of the Australian Government's directives requiring physical distancing and restrictions on movement because of the COVID-19 pandemic, you may find that learning activities and/or assessment items in some units you are studying have changed. These changes will not be updated in the published Unit Outline but will be communicated to you via your unit’s UCLearn(Canvas) teaching site. The new learning activities and/or assessment items will continue to meet the unit's learning outcomes, as described in the Unit Outline.

New learning activities and/or assessment items are available on your unit's UCLearn(Canvas) teaching site. Please contact your Unit Convener with any questions.

Syllabus

This unit applies the theory of information systems analysis and modelling to the specification of IT-supported organisational systems. It integrates the students' knowledge of database design and human-computer interaction with functional and situational requirements to produce coherent systems specification. It describes and demonstrates the tools and techniques used to formally describe what an information system is to do, and the methods used by information systems analysts to construct these descriptions. The process of domain modelling is considered from vague systems conceptualisation using soft systems techniques through a process of refinement and verification to a Unified Modelling Language (UML) based specification for the technical system and a design for the organisational system. It examines the role of analysis and modelling in various systems development life cycles.

This unit may be co-taught with 11486 Systems Analysis and Modelling.

Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this unit, student should be able to:

1. Critically analyse IT-supported complex business processes and hence derive advanced system models appropriately;

2. Use advanced abstraction techniques as a modelling device;

3. Use international standard systems description paradigms and languages;

4. Assess the role of analysis within various systems development life cycles;

5. Evaluate the role of complex systems models in the synthesis of systems; and

6. Apply advanced tools for managing complex analysis processes.
