Brief description of contents:
A previous basic knowledge in databases and programming is needed from the student in this subject. IS are introduced gradually adding more advanced aspects from two different viewpoints, one low-level and other applications. The concepts and techniques associated with IS also from a functional perspective, specifying in contexts such as spatial and geographical databases. On the other hand, more advanced aspects such as integration with ERPs, the MIR (Multimedia Information Retrieval) and development tools software for mobile phones and tablets will be treated.
