Abstract:
We presented a functional model of a decision support system (DSS) designed to generate an optimal university curriculum. We demonstrated the importance of the proposed DSS. We identified the types of mathematical models and algorithms for solving decision-making problems within the system. We built the model using the IDEF0 functional modeling standard. Based on the selected models and algorithms, we developed a context diagram that outlines the system as a whole, a first-level decomposition diagram that reflects its modular structure and potential aspects of curriculum optimization, and second-level decomposition diagrams for each system module that explain its internal functioning.
Keywords:optimization, curriculum, decision support system, functional model, system design.
