Emnebeskrivelse
MÃ¥l og innhold
The course provides the theoretical and technological foundations for developing and evolving model-centered information systems. The course offers a broad spectrum of formal method techniques including graph theory, logic (FOL, Temporal logic), model transformation, reasoning and automatic verification using model checking. This course also gives the academic background for supervised research on model-based information systems. The course reviews and discusses topical theories, technologies and standards for model-based and model-driven information systems and for suitable models and modelling languages. The course also involves actual development work using selected technologies and standards, and it covers a selection of closely related topics such as designing process models, process mining, information systems architectures, privacy and security. Examples of research and research methods in the area will also be presented and discussed.

A student who has completed the course should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:
Knowledge
The student will be able to
- explain and compare various types of existing models being used for designing systems.
- describe current modelling techniques and apply these for specifying and verifying software systems.
- identify critical components of distributed systems and be able to diagnose problems typically occurred in safety critical systems.
- acquire theoretical and practical experience of topical research methods in the area.
Skills
The student
- can describe and discuss current research and industry trends in model-driven information systems and relevant modelling techniques.
- can describe and discuss related topics such as information systems architectures, web services/cloud services, semantic interoperability, privacy and security.
- use the theories, technologies and standards to solve such problems and to justify the choices behind the solution.
- can describe how to specify properties of a safety critical system and verify such system.
