I am currently the module leader for:

BIS3031
Methodologies and Tools for the Engineering of Information Systems

This module's systemic approach to Information Systems Development ensures understanding of systems and their failures. The evolution of lifecycle models and methodologies is investigated. Methodologies covered include the participative, structured, object-oriented and agile paradigms. Taxonomies of methods and tools are studied together with frameworks for the evaluation and selection of appropriate methods and tools for different application domains. In-house CASE tools are used for modelling various scenarios. The philosophy is: No panaceas but attempts to understand the factors involved and their interrelationships for developing high quality systems. Students of this module should access its OASIS environment here.

I am also involved with:

  • CMT3992: Under-Graduate Computing Projects
  • BIS4992: Post-Graduate Computing Projects

I have recently visited the Department of Informatics and Telecommuncations at University of Athens through the SOCRATES Teacher Visitng Scheme. Teaching involved the demonstration to the students the whole "life-cycle" of a real application, starting from requirements capture through to implementation as part of a Systems Analysis module final year under-graduates.

 

Teaching should be such that what is offered is perceived as a valuable gift and not as a hard duty.
