This subject is based on the competences and knowledge acquired in the subjects:
This subject is integrated into the subject of "Software Engineering, Information Systems and Intelligent Systems" of the curriculum and provides a transversal and integrating overview of the IT context, relating the business and business aspects with the specific aims of Information Technology (IT). To do this, the basic concepts of IT (engineering, abstraction, model, system, project, process, information) are introduced, next the concept of ¿¿computer system (hardware + software + data) is presented. And finally, the more global concept of Information System (IS) as a special type of socio-technical system (with technological and human, social and organizational elements) whose objective is to satisfy the information needs of an organization, is introduced.
This subject provides a horizontal vision of the computer activity. As a result, the student will be able to better understand the role that each subject plays in Computer Science.
The subject present some of the key concepts that will be addressed in the rest of the career.
