Objective

After completing the course, you understand what the concepts software, software service, service infrastructure and different integrations mean and how different parts form information systems. You learn what the life cycle of an information system means and how it must be taken into account in the maintenance and further development of information systems. You can describe and document the architecture of a simple information system using a suitable description method. You also familiarize yourself briefly with the economic perspective and overall architectural thinking.
