Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of this course, students must be able to
- address a complex problem of decision making while avoiding common pitfalls and implementing some ideas and techniques to overcome these difficulties;
- understand the concept of information system and to position themselves in the management of its evolutions ; they will then understand the technologies as well as the technical and non-technical issues related to the development of e-commerce ; they will also understand current technology trends (eg cloud computing, big data, BYOD and connected objects) and learn how to evaluate them ; they will finally have bases in programming of applications.
- understand the basic concepts of relational databases, question a relational database using requests (SQL language) and understand the basic principles of the design of a relational database. They will also be aware of new data management technologies (eg NoSQL databases, full-text indexers and semantic databases).

Content of UE

For "Decision Making Methodology", structuration of a decision problem (in a multicriterion framework), problems related to agregation of judgements (example of the social choice theory) and to the notion of criteria importance, the MACBETH approach.
For " Technologies and information systems", concept of Information System (IS) ; typology of information systems ; networks and telecommunications ; technologies adapted to e-commerce ; general concepts of the computer security ; evolution of technologies and trends ; applications ; introduction to computer programming.
For "Database", introduction to the databases ; the relational model ; concepts of relational algebra ; SQL language ; Entity-Association Model ; Data Security ; NoSQL database ; full-text indexers.
