Osaamistavoitteet

After completing the course, the student understands a variety of complex systems we interact with on a daily basis by applying principles of systems theories and systems thinking. The student can analyze, evaluate and participate in designing such systems using a selection of tools and methodologies, and is also able to assess these methodologies and their applicability in different operational contexts and from different perspectives.

The course focuses on theoretical issues on systems development, including systems modeling, design, and analysis, and applying them to practical problem solving. In addition, the course discusses a selection of topical and emerging themes related to systems development. The overarching themes on the course are holistic systems theories (e.g., General Systems Theory, Open Systems Theory, Viable Systems Theory, Complex Adaptive Systems) and systems thinking, in general. The concept of System extends to cover topics such as soft systems (e.g., Soft Systems Methodology), actor networks (e.g., Actor Network Theory) and cyber-physical systems. Topics on systems modeling and analysis include themes such as SysML, meta-modeling and simulation models
