This study propagates a move away from the dominant practices of psychodrama with its emphasis on catharsis and insight as the main components of a therapeutic experience. It proposes a systemic orientation to psychodrama where protagonists may encounter the circularity of the systems in which they are embedded and through this process encounter new meaning. Case studies are presented which exemplify an evolutionary process of creating what the author refers to as "ecosystemic psychodrama". This ecosystemic psychodrama is based on second-order cybernetics and what is aimed for is that as a therapy it should present something of the balance between the aesthetic and pragmatic views of therapy that Keeney (1983a) describes as complementary. / Psychology / M.A. (Clinical Psychology)

The completeness and correctness of requirement modeling is the crucial factor that affecting the success of the system development. Use case diagram is the standard tool for modeling the use requirement for the objected-oriented systems analysis and design. However, to model the sequence diagram in the platform independent model (PIM) stage is still not a straightforward task to identify objects, operations and their relationships from the use case diagram. Robustness analysis has been proposed to bridge this gap between the user requirement modeling and the PIM modeling. However, the detailed guideline for the robustness analysis is lacking, while it is important for designer to enhance the completeness and correctness of the user requirement modeling. To alleviate the forgoing problem, we proposed that use case diagram, activity diagram and robustness diagram are used to represent the use requirement. Once a use case diagram is constructed, the activity diagram is used to describe the activity flow and the associated input/output of each use case. Finally, the robustness analysis with the guideline proposed is used to help the identification of boundary, control, and entity objects and enhance the completeness of the user requirement. The outcome can then be used to construct a sequence diagram in the PIM. A real-world case is presented to illustrate the feasibility of using the proposed method. With this methodology, the system developer can enhance the completeness and correctness of user requirement efficiently and thereby reduce the risk of success development failure.

Under the severe competition environment, it is very important for enterprise to create various goals and install process oriented information system to support it to reach business visions on business growth and expansion. For keeping the enterprise competitive advantage the business goals needed to be modified continuously under the change of competition environment. But the business information systems could still support the modified business goals? Information system could become less efficiency than before after business goals changed. The purpose of this study is to develop a business goals oriented information system evaluation approach to understand the degree of information system supporting the business goals. The approach first abstracts business goal and process oriented information system by business management methods and utilizes use case as the evaluation tool. Quantitative index and diagram as the result of evaluation explains the relationship between business goals and information systems. The results of evaluation could provide advantages on the information technology decision making for business leaders.

<p>Multimedia och informationssystem integreras allt mer. I detta arbete beskrivs informationssystem med multimedialt gränssnitt som multimediasystem. Likväl integreras utvecklingsarbetet och utvecklare från skilda discipliner arbetar med utveckling av en gemensam produkt. Innehållsproducenter och tekniker, med skilda fokus och skilda referensramar, arbetar gemensamt. På grund av skilda referensramar uppstår frekventa kommunikationsproblem. I detta arbete undersöks huruvida Use Case som beskrivningsteknik kan användas för att reducera kommunikationsproblem mellan innehållsproducenter och tekniker i utveckling av webbaserade multimediasystem.</p><p>I detta arbete har en intervjustudie genomförts med utvecklare av webbaserade multimediasystem samt en literaturstudie genomförts. Resultatet av undersökningen visar att det är möjligt att använda Use Case som beskrivningsteknik i utveckling av webbaserade multimediasystem. Undersökningen visar även att Use Case som beskrivningsteknik kan användas i ett kommunikativt syfte mellan innehållsproducenter och tekniker i utveckling av webbaserade multimediasystem.</p>

The aim of the thesis is to design a system for evaluation of input control data in selected company. The specific proposal for input control data evaluation was preceded by the mapping out of the current situation at the input control using the EPC Diagram. The next part defines weaknesses, the structure of individual users and cases of their use. The final part sets requirements of the new system and creates ER Diagram.

Visto que as fases de análise, projeto, implementação e teste do sistema dependem essencialmente dessa documentação, é preciso assegurar inicialmente a qualidade desses textos. Contudo, textos escritos em linguagem natural nem sempre são precisos, devido ao fenômeno da ambigüidade (léxica e estrutural), podendo dar margem a diferentes interpretações. Uma alternativa para se minimizar esse problema é o uso de uma Linguagem Natural Controlada - um subconjunto de alguma língua natural, que usa um vocabulário restrito a um domínio particular, e regras gramaticais que guiam a construção de sentenças com redução de ambigüidade semântica visando padronização e precisão dos textos. Este trabalho, na área de Teste de Software, apresenta a ucsCNL (Use Case Specification CNL), uma Linguagem Natural Controlada para escrever especificações de casos de uso no domínio de dispositivos móveis. A ucsCNL foi integrada à TaRGeT (Test and Requirements Generation Tool), uma ferramenta para geração automática de casos de teste funcionais baseados em cenários de casos de uso escritos em Inglês. A ucsCNL provê um ambiente para geração de casos de teste mais claros, com ambigüidade reduzida, influindo diretamente na qualidade dos testes e na produtividade dos testadores. A ucsCNL já está em uso e tem alcançado resultados satisfatórios

In this thesis we can see a suggestion of an information system for personal trainers based on customers demands. The suggestion is focused mainly on the specification of the system from the point of view of the user. At first, collecting of user's requirements has been carried out, this point on I compiled an Use Case diagram and drew up his specifications. For the layout of the structure of the database, the ER diagram has been applied. In the closing section we can find an estimation of a suitable evolution of the system and economic analysis of the revenue from advertisement.
