Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course provides theoretical and practical engineering approaches (concepts, methods, techniques, and tools) in data management, computing infrastructure, and fundamental security mechanisms to design, implement, and deploy high-quality web-based information systems.
The course covers the following topics:
- Data Engineering: Parallel and distributed database systems, object-relational and object-oriented DBMS, semi-structured modeling, NoSQL database systems.
- Computing Infrastructure: Principles of virtualization, container technology, cloud computing.
- Security Engineering: Basics on IT security services, encryption, certificates, security protocols.

The course is divided into two parts. Part A focuses on conceptual understanding, while Part B involves implementing an information system based on these concepts.

The mode and format of this course may be subject to change after the registration deadline, depending on the actual total number of registrations.

Assessment and permitted materials

In Part A, a maximum of 40 points can be earned, and in Part B, a maximum of 60 points.
The final grade is based on the sum of points from both parts (maximum total score = 100).
There are four assessments:
- Part A: Two written tests/exams on the conceptual content (no aids allowed), each worth 20 points.
- Part B: Information system (IS) specification focusing on relational and NoSQL DBMS, worth up to 30 points.
- Part B: IS development with a relational DBMS, including migration to NoSQL DBMS, worth up to 30 points.
In addition, students may earn bonus points through short (maximum 10-minute duration) quizzes at the beginning of individual sessions and independently completing post-lecture tasks. The maximum total score from these additional assessments (quizzes and post-lecture tasks) is 12 points. Of these, a maximum of two points may be applied toward the minimum requirements.

The use of generative AI tools is generally not permitted unless you are explicitly asked to do so.
You must adhere to the » rules of academic integrity for this course (see download) in order to be assessed. Violation of these rules may result in assessment as a case of plagiarism.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

To pass the course, the following conditions must be met:
- At least 50% of the maximum points from the two tests in Part A.
- At least 50% of the maximum points from Part B.
- A mandatory final presentation with slides on the solutions for Part B.

The final grade is based on the total points earned (including bonus points) according to the following scale:
- 89% <= P <= 100%: Excellent (1)
- 76% <= P < 89%: Good (2)
- 63% <= P < 76%: Satisfactory (3)
- 50% <= P < 63%: Sufficient (4)
- 0% <= P < 50%: Insufficient (5)

Examination topics
