CINF044 - ECTS Information Systems Analysis addresses the life cycle of information technology-based systems in an organizational context: planning, design, development, implementation, maintenance, elimination/replacement. It is intended that students develop a set of skills and knowledge, based on information management, which allows them to intervene in all phases of this life cycle, collaborating with stakeholders from other disciplinary areas. The concept of socio-technical system is the background against which business process analysis methodologies, conceptual modeling methods and systems analysis and specification methodologies are approached.
It is intended, then, that given a situation of potential introduction or development of an information system in an organization, the student is able to participate and/or conduct an analysis process that leads to the definition of the detailed technical and organizational requirements of this system.

The "Information Retrieval" course assumes as its context the existence of large collections of information and the need for methods and tools for information retrieval on extensive heterogeneous collections.

We aim to:
1. Make the students feel the difference between structured and unstructured information and the difference between documents having associated descriptions or not.
2. Make the students familiar with the main concepts in textual information retrieval and their application in retrieval tools.
3. Use well-established methods in information retrieval to evaluate retrieval tools.
