Mastering basic and advanced knowledge and skills related to information management in the context of complex software products. Integrate databases and data organization with data structures in operational mremor. Deep understanding of platform-independent and platform-dependent aspects of information resources.

After successfully completing the course, the student is able to: Specify, model and implement mechanisms for handling information resources within the complexity of complex software products. It is capable of using databases, data organization and data structures in the implementation of information-handling components within the software product architecture. They are able to formulate and implement standard operations (addition, modification, deletion, and search) regardless of the nature and method of implementing the layer for the permanent storage (storage) of information.

Basic concepts related to data, information and knowledge. Formal specification of data structure and its mapping to elements of a persistent layer of complex software products. Platform independent and platform-dependent aspects of data, information and knowledge management. Platform independent model of universal information resource, description and mapping. Data organization - a persistent layer dependent on the operating system. File system architecture, file types and operations over files and within files of different organizations. Data models. Database. Development of a persistent layer of complex software products. Conceptual, logical and physical data modeling. Standardization of operations over information resources. Standardization of the reporting subsystem over the universal persistent layer.

Lectures; Computer exercises; Consultations. Project. As part of the course, students divided into four-member teams implement an interactive application project that enables the visualization and implementation of basic operations over the data warehouse represented by the meta-specification. A special accent is placed on the platform-independent implementation of the reporting subsystem based on persistent layer meta-specification.
