Syllabus
How science evolves: Scientific paradigms and scientific revolutions. Information systems epistemology. Taxonomy of systems. Information Systems as Human Activity Systems. Methodologies for systems. Soft Systems Methodology. General Systems Theory. Cybernetics and Control Systems. Structured and unstructured problems. The Viable System Model. Systems Dynamics. Applications for Information Systems.
Learning Outcomes
Students who successfully fulfil the course requirements will have:
- The knowledge to identify simple or complex systems, to identify epistemological issues, to apply the principles of Cybernetics and Control Systems, to successfully apply Soft Systems Methodology, Viable System Models and Self-Organising Systems.
- The ability to handle a problem following a systemic approach, identifying the critical characteristics that make it an unstructured problem.
- The skill to apply appropriate methodologies of systemic thinking for the realisation and solving of unstructured problems.
