Business Technologies - A Modeling Centered, Application Oriented Course

Abstract

In this paper, we present the course "Business Technologies", which we offer at Alpen-Adria-Universität for students of the master’s programs in Informatics and Information Systems to introduce them to the exciting world of modeling. It is a combination of lecture and project work that has been offered regularly since 2013, with the content being adapted and updated every year. We intend this paper to stimulate discussion of modeling as an important component of Informatics teaching. Accordingly, not all our theses are scientifically substantiated; rather, some of them are intentionally formulated in a somewhat pointed way to provoke the discussion.
