It is intended to study the process of development and management of an information system, with emphasis on its structural and behavioral modeling, using UML notation (Unified Modeling Language).
Students must acquire the following skills: perceiving the nature of information, the structure of organizations and the role of information systems in organizations; know the life cycle of information systems development (ISD), adapting processes and methodologies and tools to meet DHS; writing a requirements document; information systems modeling through UML diagrams; know the fundamentals of project management in the context of ISD processes, including tools and techniques for planning and estimates.
