Læringsmål:	After this learning activity the student should be able to: After this learning activity the student should be able to take active part in a software development team working on a project with requirements and feedback partly given throughout the process by external and international "customers" and be responsible for dedicated parts of the project, including (1) participate in requirement specification and elaboration, (2) planning (3) coordination, (4) interviewing external customers and adapt requirements and solution based on feedback, (5) user and application programming interface description (6) data modelling (7) design (8) programming (9) testing (10) conduct a constructive feedback process on other fellow students work.
Fagligt indhold:	The project is centered on a project implementing a distributed, web-service based solution with requirements partly given throughout the process by external and international "customers". The goal is to develop a functioning and correct, web-service based distributed workflow system that can support distributed coordination of workflows provided by the external and possibly international customers, and reconfigured if the workflow changes. Students will work in teams of 5 to 6 people, and will receive requirements and feedback, in English, from both students from the Global Business Informatics study programme at ITU, and from collaborators from an international partner, possibly with a considerable time difference. Students will - deal with cultural and/or professional gaps in communication with external "customers" - conduct conversation with external customers in a respectful manner, both written and spoken. .
Læringsaktiviteter:	The project starts in the beginning of March, and consists of two main blocks: - Block 1 (March->Easter) Planning of project and development of working prototype of workflow system, allowing to demonstrate implementation workflows to external parners - Block 2 (Easter->End of term) Presentation of prototypes and implementaiton of workflows to external partners, gathering feedback and new requirements, and development of new prototype based on new requirements and feedback During Block 1 the workload will be about 10-12 hours a week, and there will be a few presentations by the supervisor and possibility for a weekly meeting with supervisor or TA. During Block 2 the workload about 20-24 hours a week there will be a few presentations by the supervisor and possibility for two weekly meeting with supervisor or TA. ----- See the schedule here: link to the time table The schedule will be available shortly before the beginning of the term.
Obligatoriske aktivititer:	Content Workload Activities There will be a mandatory pre-hand in between Block 1 and Block 2 of the project. The course will include required reading on advanced technical subjects including web-services, workflow and process-aware information systems, unit testing, stubs, some F# language constructs and various internet technologies, possibly including cloud technologies. At the end of the term, the solution, documentation and a project report must be handed in, written in English. Feedback What if the student fails to pass a mandatory activity: Be aware: The student will receive the grade NA (not approved) at the ordinary exam, if the mandatory activities are not approved and the student will use an exam attempt.
Eksamensform og -beskrivelse:	X. experimental examination form (7-scale; external exam) Duration of oral examination: The group will first give a joint 8 minute presentation of the project. Subsequently, each group member will be examined 8 minutes. - There is only one final grade for the course covering project hand-in, report and the oral project exam.
Litteratur udover forskningsartikler:	To be announced.
