Description

Modern enterprise information systems involve the use of structured and unstructured data to support decision making, and optimize business processes. To tackle these new challenges, it is necessary to apply novel analytic and technological mechanisms to support the design, build, test, and deployment of intelligent systems.

In this context, IT architects face new challenges. First, they need to interact with new stakeholders (i.e. data scientists) to understand architectural requirements related to big data ecosystems, data intensive algorithms and scalable architectures to achieve robust, flexible, useful and cost-effective solutions.

This course presents three complementary modules, relevant to modern IT architects. First, intelligent systems must be designed and developed following new architectural approaches. Experimental software engineering is also presented as a mechanism to validate analytical solutions. Second, foundations of statistical learning are presented to understand the main tasks and requirements faced by data scientists. Third, advanced analytics concepts and real world problems in the domain of intelligent systems are presented. In this module students will apply the concepts learned in the previous two modules to propose architectures designed to handle large scale data applications.

At the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Summarize the features and value of experimental software engineering and software architecture in analytical projects
  • Define and validate non-functional requirements in the context of Intelligent Systems architectures
  • Describe the foundations of machine learning and its uses in Intelligent Systems solutions.
  • Analyze and compare different scenarios of applied data science in Intelligent Systems through pragmatic case studies.
  • Integrate acquired knowledge to architecting Intelligent Systems
