Résumé:
This handout serves as a course material for second-year students pursuing a degree in
Computer Science with a specialization in “Information Systems (IS)”.
The objective of this course is twofold. On one hand, it aims to provide computer science
students with a grasp of the fundamental concepts related to information systems. On the other
hand, it enables students to learn a methodology for designing computer systems. By the end
of this course, the student will be capable to:
• Analyze an information system from informational, organizational, and technical
perspectives.
• Understand the lifecycle and implementation phases of an information system.
• Employ a professional methodology for designing an information system.
• Comprehend the objectives of the MERISE method and its various procedural levels.
• Acquire specific terminology related to the method.
• Differentiate the complementarity of systemic and analytical approaches.
