Masterstudium Business Informatics - Fakultät für Informatik, TU Wien

mantic Web vision and basic understanding of Semantic Web technologies. The Semantic
Web supports extensive possibilities for automated interrelation and query of information
and processes. In this context Ontology as the building block of Semantic Web will
be introduced and some important properties of ontologies will be discussed. It will be
also shown how ontologies can support varied applications in dierent knowledge domains.
This module also introduces some emerging trends in ontologies and Semantic
Web eld, such as Linked Open Data. Furthermore, Based on the standard formats and
languages such as XML, RDF(S) and OWL, some technologies and tools are presented
that facilitate semi-automatic integration of various data sources. In this module mapping
algorithms and interfaces for semi-automatic alignment of data, based on recent
research results will be introduced.
SBI/KM4 - Semantic Business Processes (6.0 Ects) Service oriented techniques
are used for building software applications that use services available in a network such
as the World Wide Web. The driving forces come from both the software engineering
community and the business process community. Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)
promotes loose coupling between software components so that interoperability across
programming languages and platforms can be achieved. Extending the classic middleware
functions, SOA techniques incorporate the demands of e-business by adding process
modeling and management functions. The description of services covers not only software
interfaces but also semantic business information. Services can be dynamically discovered
and composite services can be built from aggregates of other services.
SBI/LAW - Advanced Aspects of IT-Law (6.0 Ects) This module deals with advanced
legal aspects in applied computer sciences and IT related project and contract issues.
Students adopt a deeper and applied understanding of specic law sectors relevant for
IT professionals in actual project scenarios. Students identify the specic relevance of
certain legal issues in applied IT scenarios. Moreover students gain insight into everyday
situations and are aware of the rights and duties of the parties involved, so that they
may avoid legal drawbacks from the perspective of an IT professional. The majority of
the lessons are held as presentations and discussions involving students. Moreover small
practical exercises are elaborated by each student or in groups.
SBI/MO2 - e-Business Modeling (6.0 Ects) This module focuses on model-driven
development of solutions for e-business partnerships. Thereby, the module investigates
on methodologies and techniques on the dierent levels of an e-business partnership and
the integration of these levels: (1) the value perspective manifested by a business model,
(2) the process ow perspective manifested by choreographies among the parties, and
(3) the execution perspective manifested by the deployment artifacts. A lecture series
is accompanied by practical courses where the students have to demonstrate their skills
by presenting solutions for given examples and develop a model-driven solution for a
practical problem spanning all the dierent layers of inter-organizational systems for
e-business.
SBI/MTE - Business Informatics: Methods and Techniques for e-Marketing
(6.0 Ects) This module focuses on the technological as well as methodological aspects
