Competence to develop:
The student applies the concepts in the development of patterns, interfaces
and the properties that they must fulfill, in order to deliver a proposal.
The student models problems through the creation of the architecture and
the components of an information system, based on formal and functional
specifications of the system.

Topics to develop:
 Conceptualization
 Architectural design
 Design at the component level
Steps, phases of the learning strategy to develop
Understand the basic concepts of design and its components.
Develop the architectural design for an information system.
Develop the design at the component level to an information system.
Activities to develop
The company whose organization chart corresponds to the attached graph,

is a company that is dedicated to advising, sales and maintenance of

technological products additionally develops office applications and web
applications for its customers.
The company consists of the areas of Accounting, Technology and
Creativity, Human Talent, Production and Marketing and Sales. In each of
the areas there are sub areas of support for the development of each of
their processes.
Currently the company works a fairly simple application where there is no
backup of the information stored on the hard drives. The board of
directors, when meeting monthly, requests information from the general
manager, who in turn requests information from the persons in charge of
each of the areas.
The board of directors has decided to apply reengineering to its information
system and therefore will support in its small group as engineers to provide
the necessary support in this process. To do this, you must perform:
1. Select one of the following areas and express it in the forum.
a) Accounting.
b) Technology and creativity
c) Human talent.
d) Production.
e) Marketing and sales
2. Build the architectural design of the software for the information system
 of the area you have selected.
3. Among the members of the small group, make a suggested network
architectural design for the entire company.
4. Make an architectural context diagram (DCA) specifying:
a) Superior systems
b) Subordinate systems
c) Peer systems
d) Actors.
5. Make the data flow diagram of the company's study area
6. Based on point 4 (Data flow diagram) develop a design component of
the area you have selected

 General guidelines for the collaborative work
Planning of In the development of collaborative work by students,
activities for some key elements are required that lead to a
the comprehensive, responsible and effective academic
development exercise.
of For this to be achieved it is necessary that they comply
collaborative with the steps indicated in the document entitled "General
work guidelines of the UNAD curriculum / Aspects of
collaborative work and teaching accompaniment" (Abadía,
Vela, Montero & Vargas, 2014, p. 16-18):
1. Recognition of actors: At the beginning of each
evaluation activity, the student will be recognized as an
actor of the group, presenting their strengths and
exposing the communication channels to be effective their
interaction.
2. Assignment of roles: Each member of the group will
assume one of the indicated roles, which will perform
functionally during the realization of collaborative work. It
is suggested to rotate roles in each of the activities, thus
promoting an integral formation of all the participants of
the group.
3. Planning of the academic activities: The planning of the
activities becomes a key element for the achievement of
the task. The group will carry out an academic work plan
for the development of the activity, based on the
analytical reflection of the activities agenda, the
evaluation guide and rubric. They will perform the
required readings acquiring thematic appropriation.
4. Staging the principles of collaborative work: it is
important to internalize the principles of interaction,
growth and responsible action, to ensure the excellent
development of your learning process and presentation of
written products that correspond to the quality of what is
requested in the course.
5. Active participation: a proactive participation with
relevant individual contributions is required for the
construction of a product that accounts for what is
 requested in the activity guide.
Each student will choose one of the five roles specified in
the box below and will assume responsibility in a
responsible manner so that the participation in the
collaborative work is relevant, active with assertive
communication and achieve the construction of the
collaborative products requested and within the
established times.

that the contributions of all the participants have been

Deliveries: Alert about the delivery times of the products
 and send the document in the stipulated times, using the
resources destined for the shipment, and indicate to the
other colleagues that the delivery has been made.
Alerts: Ensure that the members of the group are
notified of the news in the work and inform the teacher
through the forum of work and the messaging of the
course, that the document has been sent.

Plagiarism What is plagiarism for the UNAD? Plagiarism is defined by
policy the dictionary of the Royal Academy as the action of
"copying in the substantial works of others, giving them
as their own." Therefore plagiarism is a serious fault: it is
the equivalent in the academic field, to theft. A student
who plagiarizes does not take his education seriously, and
does not respect the intellectual work of others.
There is no small plagiarism. If a student uses any portion
of another person's work, and does not document their
source, they are committing an act of plagiarism. Now, it
is evident that we all have the ideas of others when
presenting ours, and that our knowledge is based on the
knowledge of others. But when we rely on the work of
others, academic honesty requires that we explicitly
announce the fact that we are using an external source,
either by means of an appointment or by means of an
annotated paraphrase.
For UNAD, in agreement 029 of December 13, 2013,
article 99, the following are considered as offenses that
threaten the academic order, among others: literal e)
"Plagiarism, that is, present as your own Authorship of all
 or part of a work, work, document or invention made by
another person. It also implies the use of citations or
missing references, or propose a citad where there is no
coincidence between it and the reference "; and literal f)
"Reproducing, or copying for profit, educational materials
or results of research products, which have intellectual
rights reserved for the University."
The academic sanctions that the student will face are the
following:
a) In the cases of academic fraud demonstrated in the
academic work or respective evaluation, the qualification
that will be imposed will be zero points (0.0) without
prejudice of the corresponding disciplinary sanction.
b) In the cases related to plagiarism demonstrated in the
academic work whatever their nature, the qualification
that will be imposed will be zero point zero (0.0), without
prejudice of the corresponding disciplinary sanction.
