Learning objectives

Depending on the selected courses, students will deepen the fundamentals taught in the module BWiWi 1.14 Fundamentals of Decision Support Systems in a way that qualifies them for a profession and at the same time continue their academic examination of business informatics.

The compulsory course Knowledge-Based Systems, which continues the area of forecasting systems from the module BWiWi 1.14, enables graduates of the module to make economically sound decisions on the application and use of special methods for algorithmic knowledge processing in business information and communication systems. Students are familiar and practiced with the modeling and algorithmic solution of knowledge storage and processing problems as well as the associated complexity theory background. They are able to evaluate such systems and know the mathematical and algorithmic foundations on which these systems arrive at their respective results. This enables them to assess their use for economic and/or medical applications.

Depending on the chosen focus, the following additional skills are acquired in the area of technologies:

• Computer hardware and system operation: graduates will have an overview and knowledge of computer architectures, internal interfaces, current server configurations and high-speed peripherals. Graduates will be able to design and economically evaluate simple computer networks for data communication in organizations.
• Communication systems: Graduates are proficient in the techniques required to use and provide Internet services. They have gained practical experience in these areas.
• Data organization: Graduates are able to make economically sound decisions about the deployment and use of databases and database management systems in operational contexts. They have knowledge of the architectural possibilities of databases and corresponding management systems. (Continuation of the database systems section from the BWiWi 1.14 module)
