Course description and aims

In our department, we have been fostering students who can utilize ICT from users' viewpoint, more concretely, to have a vision to utilize ICT which supports business activities from the viewpoint of Enterprise Engineering. The discipline in which researches and education are on how to utilize ICT from users' viewpoint is called Information Systems. The goal of the course is to provide fundamental knowledge and skill on the subject.

In this course, we explain firstly what Systems Theoretic Weltanschauung is. Then we provide basic principle on how and why computer can process data using simulation for a virtual CPU. Finally, we explain some internal descriptions for input-output system and Enterprise Ontology that is the basis for Enterprise Information Systems.

Systems Theoretic Weltanschauung is twofold. One is emergent property and the other is structural similarity. Students are supposed to learn both of the viewpoints.

Student learning outcomes

Students will be able to lean Systems Theoretic Weltanschauung focusing not on laws but hidden mechanism for a given phenomena based not on Reductionism but Holism.
In addition, they will be able to understand why and how computation in computers is being handled. They are also be able to understand internal representation of input-output system.

Keywords

system, model, simulation, information systems, emergent property, structural similarity
