Information Systems Architecture

Upon successful completion of this unit a student will understand the interaction of corporate strategies, business processes and information systems, understand the value of integration, know the principles for process orientation and the concept of the different architectural views (e.g. function view, organisation view, data view, output view) and the relationships between those individual views and will be able to interpret and use the models and methods for developing information systems architectures.

The content of the module comprises the concept of meta-modelling, methods and techniques for enterprise and reference modeling, approaches for process and organisation modelling, information systems modelling (model-driven architecture), data modelling, IT architecture and infrastructure modelling and business rules. Special focus is on the OMG standards BMM, BPMN, SBVR, UML, and MOF.

Outline Content
 Introduction to Information Systems Architectures: The role of Architectures for Business and IT Alignment
Perspectives, aspects and their relations in Enterprise Architecture Frameworks (Zachman Framework, TOGAF, Model-Driven Architecture)
Introduction to modelling (modelling, concepts and meta-modelling etc.)
Enterprise modelling
  • OMG Business Motivation Modelling
  • Business Rules Modelling
  • Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Rules SBVR and introduction to Logic
  • Business Process Modelling with the OMG Busines Process Modelling Notation BPMN
  • Information Systems Modelling: UML, Model Driven Architecture (MDA)
Meta modelling, the OMG Meta Object Facility (MOF)
Teaching and Learning Methods
 The module is taught through plenary lectures and plenary/group workshops, including case studies, documentaries and presentations. In addition, students undertake guided independent study throughout. Class participation is actively encouraged.

In the plenary lectures students are required to orally present results of guided self study or repetition of previous lecture.

Plenary sessions will be accompanied by a case study in which groups of students build up an enterprise architecture for a sample enterprise
