Description

In this course the goal is to gain experiences in the application of conceptual modelling. To achieve this, students are provided with scenarios of international businesses attempting to outsource parts of their operations. Each student-team of the Saarland University will pair up with one student-team from Widener University (USA). The paired teams will progress to their respective scenario by negotiating how to co-operate, defining requirements, and creating a design specification.

These steps are usually accompanied by the creation of contracts and the development of prototype implementations.
