252-0215-00L	Information Systems Diese Lehrveranstaltung wird im FS17 zum letzten Mal in dieser Form angeboten.	8 KP	4V + 2U + 1A	M. Norrie
Kurzbeschreibung	The course goes beyond relational technologies to examine the range of different database technologies available today. It also introduces the basic concepts of information retrieval and discusses the design decisions behind modern information system architectures.
Lernziel	The goal of the course is to introduce students to the wide range of technologies in use today for data storage and retrieval. This will include extensions of relational database technologies, non-relational database systems and information retrieval systems. Through the use of a case study, students will also learn about modern information system architectures and the design decisions behind them.
Inhalt	The course follows on from an earlier course on relational database technologies by introducing other database paradigms and extensions to relational systems. Students will gain experience of working with object, NoSQL and XML databases and the course will examine the features of these systems in terms of their approaches to storage, querying and transaction management and how they compare to relational systems and each other. The course will also look at how relational systems have been extended to support specific types of data, for example spatial, temporal and text data. In the second half of the course, the students will be introduced to modern information system architectures that build on one or more database technologies and a case study will be used to examine the design decisions behind such architectures. The case study will also be used to introduce students to the problems and techniques associated with integration, data quality and evolution in systems for large-scale, long-term data management. The last part of the course will introduce the basic concepts of information retrieval systems, web search and web data extraction.

252-0374-00L	Web Engineering Der Kurs wird zum letzten Mal angeboten.	6 KP	2V + 2U + 1A	M. Norrie
Kurzbeschreibung	The course teaches students about the basic principles of web engineering by examining the various technologies used in modern web sites in detail together with the step-by-step processes used to develop state-of-the art web sites.
Lernziel	The goals of the course are that students should be able to: - systematically develop state-of-the-art web sites using a range of technologies, platforms and frameworks in common use - understand the role of different technologies and how they are combined in practice - analyse requirements and select appropriate technologies, platforms and frameworks
Inhalt	The first half of the course will introduce the various technologies used in state-of-the-art websites together with the widespread interface-driven development process. From the beginning, we will cater for access from multiple devices such as mobile phones and tablets as well as desktop browsers and show how technologies such as HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript can be used to support rich forms of interaction. The concepts behind modern content management platforms such as WordPress will be introduced and students will gain practical experience of working with such a platform in terms of extending its functionality as well as developing websites. The second half of the course will introduce various programming frameworks for website development and students will gain experience of working with various JavaScript frameworks, including ones developed to support novel forms of interaction and applications that run across two or more devices. The final lectures will examine user experience issues and future trends. The material covered in lectures will be supported by a series of practical exercises.
252-0807-00L	Information Systems Laboratory Maximale Teilnehmerzahl: 16 Im Masterstudium können zusätzlich zu den Vertiefungsübergreifenden Fächern nur max. 10 Kreditpunkte über Laboratorien erarbeitet werden. Weitere Laboratorien werden auf dem Beiblatt aufgeführt.	10 KP	9P	M. Norrie
Kurzbeschreibung	The purpose of this laboratory course is to practically explore modern techniques to build large-scale distributed information systems. Participants will work in groups of three or more students, and develop projects in several phases.
Lernziel	The students will gain experience of working with technologies used in the design and development of information systems.
Inhalt	First week: Kick-off meeting and project assignment Second week: Meeting with the project supervisor to discuss the goals and scope of the project. During the semester: Individual group work. Each team member should contribute to the project roughly about 10h/week, excluding any necessary reading or self-studying (e.g. the time spent to learn a new technology). In addition, it is expected that each team can meet with their supervisor on a regular basis. End of semester: Final presentation.
252-0924-00L	OMS Case Study II	2 KP	2S	M. Norrie
