Soft Sytems Modelling

This presentation introduces Soft Systems Modelling as a technique to support investigating the behaviour of dynamic systems in the real world. It combines techniques from General Systems Theory, Soft Systems Methodolgy and Critical Systems Heuristics. Personas and Scenarios are used as a technique for exploring the motivations of stakeholders in the systems.

Systems Design: Use Case Modelling Lab using Visual Paradigm

This lab follows the lecture 'System Design: Using UML Use Cases'http://www.edshare.soton.ac.uk/9619/ It introduces Visual Paradigm as a UML modelling tool. Students work through Visual Paradigm online Tutorials and then create two projects.

Systems Design: Activity and Sequence modelling using Visual Paradigm

This lab follows the lectures 'System Design: http://www.edshare.soton.ac.uk/9653/ and http://www.edshare.soton.ac.uk/6280/ . Students use Visual Paradigm for UML to build Activity and Sequence models through project examples: Library, Plant Nursery and a Health Spa

Systems Design: Class modelling using Visual Paradigm

This lab follows the lectures 'System Design: http://www.edshare.soton.ac.uk/6280/ http://www.edshare.soton.ac.uk/9653/ and http://www.edshare.soton.ac.uk/9713/ Students use Visual Paradigm for UML to build Class models through project examples: Aircraft Manufacturing Company, Library, Plant Nursery.

WAIS Seminar:Modelling the Web: Examples of modelling language, network evolution and physical-social systems

Speaker(s): Prof. Steffen Staab Organiser: Dr Tim Chown Time: 23/05/2014 10:30-11:30 Location: B53/4025 Abstract The Web is constructed based on our experiences in a multitude of modalities: text, networks, images, physical locations are some examples. Understanding the Web requires from us that we can model these modalities as they appear on the Web. In this talk I will show some examples of how we model text, hyperlink networks and physical-social systems in order to improve our understanding and our use of the Web.

On lions, impala, and bigraphs: modelling interactions in Ubiquitous Computing

As ubiquitous systems have moved out of the lab and into the world the need to think more systematically about how there are realised has grown. This talk will present intradisciplinary work I have been engaged in with other computing colleagues on how we might develop more formal models and understanding of ubiquitous computing systems. The formal modelling of computing systems has proved valuable in areas as diverse as reliability, security and robustness. However, the emergence of ubiquitous computing raises new challenges for formal modelling due to their contextual nature and dependence on unreliable sensing systems. In this work we undertook an exploration of modelling an example ubiquitous system called the Savannah game using the approach of bigraphical rewriting systems. This required an unusual intra-disciplinary dialogue between formal computing and human- computer interaction researchers to model systematically four perspectives on Savannah: computational, physical, human and technical. Each perspective in turn drew upon a range of different modelling traditions. For example, the human perspective built upon previous work on proxemics, which uses physical distance as a means to understand interaction. In this talk I hope to show how our model explains observed inconsistencies in Savannah and ex- tend it to resolve these. I will then reflect on the need for intradisciplinary work of this form and the importance of the bigraph diagrammatic form to support this form of engagement. Speaker Biography Tom Rodden Tom Rodden (rodden.info) is a Professor of Interactive Computing at the University of Nottingham. His research brings together a range of human and technical disciplines, technologies and techniques to tackle the human, social, ethical and technical challenges involved in ubiquitous computing and the increasing used of personal data. He leads the Mixed Reality Laboratory (www.mrl.nott.ac.uk) an interdisciplinary research facility that is home of a team of over 40 researchers. He founded and currently co-directs the Horizon Digital Economy Research Institute (www.horizon.ac.uk), a university wide interdisciplinary research centre focusing on ethical use of our growing digital footprint. He has previously directed the EPSRC Equator IRC (www.equator.ac.uk) a national interdisciplinary research collaboration exploring the place of digital interaction in our everyday world. He is a fellow of the British Computer Society and the ACM and was elected to the ACM SIGCHI Academy in 2009 (http://www.sigchi.org/about/awards/).

Programa d'ajut a la docència universitària : fem camí cap a Europa. 'Programa de ayuda a la docencia universitaria : hacemos camino hacia Europa'.

Se presenta un programa cuyo objetivo es la mejora de la calidad de la docencia universitaria y facilitar su adaptación al nuevo espacio europeo de educación superior. Para ello se presentan cuatro cursos dirigidos al profesorado universitario para adaptarse a los futuros planes de estudio.

Introduction to Soft Systems Modelling

Two lectures that introduce the idea of modelling in the large, and contrasts hard system and soft system modelling. The second lecture goes into detail on a number of specific methods for analysing a system (CATWOE and CSH) and on modelling a system (Systems Diagrams and Personas).

Fem quart en dos cursos? : adaptació curricular duta a terme per l'IES Celestí Ballera de Granollers. '¿Hacemos cuarto en dos cursos? : adaptación curricular llevada a cabo por el IES Celestí Ballera de Granollers'.

Teniendo en cuenta que hay alumnado que al acabar tercero de secundaria no está preparado para alcanzar los objetivos finales de etapa, pero sí que es suficientemente maduro para darse cuenta de su realidad y tomar una decisión juntamente con su familia, esta escuela realizó una adaptación curricular para estos estudiantes. Los autores exponen la experiencia de adaptación a la diversidad en la ESO, mencionando aspectos como los recursos que disponían, el marco legal, y como se organiza una adaptación.
