Module Handbook Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Connected Systems

 

• Introduction to business process management and case studies
• Characteristics of process-oriented information systems
• Analysis and optimization of business processes
• Tools, languages, and guidelines for process modeling (e.g., Business Process Modeling Notation 2.0)
• Modeling and verification of executable processes (i.e., workflows)
• Implementation and execution of processes using process management technology
• Selected architectural and implementation aspects of process management systems
• Concepts and technologies for supporting flexible processes
• Current trends in business process management
  
   

After successfully completing the module, students are able to analyze, model, and optimize business processes on a professional level. They can apply the available methods, concepts, and software tools. Furthermore, they can explain how business processes can be supported by information systems and are able to identify the requirements for implementing such process-oriented information systems.
Participants can also describe the essential characteristics, components, and functions of process-oriented information systems and place them within an overall architecture. In addition, they are capable of describing and applying various paradigms for modeling and developing process-oriented information systems, as well as evaluating their advantages and disadvantages.
Finally, participants are equipped to implement selected process scenarios using a process management system.

 

The online part of the study programme takes place in self studies and in form of group work. For the self study part video lectures with detailed information about the contents and an elaborated script is offered. The script is developed especially for extra-occupational learners in regard to the didactic concept of Ulm University. It contains learning stopps, multiple and single choice tests, quizzes, exercises, etc. Lecture notes and further materials and forums are available in a modern web-based e-learning environment.

Tutorials for solving problems and exercises are offered by your mentor typically bi-weekly and held via video conferences. These seminars will help you handling the exercises and working on the learning matters. An online forum for exchange with the other students will also be available. 

Basic knowledge of databases, as taught in the module “Fundamentals of database systems”.
 

Regular participation in online seminars will help you solving exercises, which have to be loaded up to the learning management system after request of the mentor. Passing the exercises successfully is recommended for participation in the final examination at Ulm University.
 

After finishing your exame successfully you will get a certificate and a supplement, which will list the contents of the module and the competencies you have acquired. In the supplement the responsible person for the module confirms you the equivalent of 6 credit points (ECTS).
