Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing)
Learning outcomes
To acquaint students with chosen methods and processes which knowledge is a prerequisite to analysis of existing systems and also proposals of new ones. Part of semester is dedicated to explanation of models from decision making theory area that are used within system analysis.
Student is within the scope of subject acquainted with methods and techniques for identification of system and its subsequent analysis and decomposition. Is able to solve various kinds of decision and optimization problems in systems.
