OBS - recording of lectures on Zoom

The live lectures on Zoom are recorded. The recordings will be made publicly available online on the course page for the whole duration of the semester. This has some implications for your privacy:

  • If you unmute your microphone or web-camera to ask questions during the session, this will be made part of the recording. By

doing so, you thus agree to be made part of the recording publicly available online.

  • If you want to avoid being part of the recording, you may ask questions in the Zoom-chat during the lecture.
  • At the end of each lecture, we will have a Q/A session that is not recorded.

Information Systems

  • In the field of Information Systems, we are interested in the interaction between

technology and organizations.

  • Information systems are socio-technical systems consisting of both technology, humans,

and organizations

  • Complexity emerging from the interaction between technical and social aspects.

Digital Platforms - two types

  • Transaction platforms

Facilitates interaction between participants in a market or network

  • Innovation / software platforms

Facilitates innovation by enabling efficient use and reorganization of resources by a large audience.

Innovation platforms

In this course, we are primarily focusing on innovation or software platforms. And particularly, how the architectural traits of, and strategies around software platforms is relevant to Information Systems issues such as innovation, design, implementation, and standardization.

slide-28
SLIDE 28

What is a software platform?

Baldwin and Woodard (2008): Platform architectures refer to systems that are partitioned into: 1) A set of stable components 2) A set of complementary components that vary Between these are interfaces that enable interaction. These are part of the platform and should be stable over time. “The low-variety components constitute the platform. They are the long-lived elements of the system and thus imply or explicitly establish the system’s interfaces, the rules governing the interactions of the different parts” (Baldwin and Woodard, 2008, p 19)

What is a platform?

“A software platform is a software-based product or service that serves as a foundation on which outside parties can build complementary products or services” - Tiwana 2013 p5

  • Provides core functionality which is extendable
  • Entails interfaces that allows third parties to develop apps that extend the functionality
  • f the platform

API

  • Application programming interfaces (APIs) allows us to access, update, create and delete

resources in the platform core. CRUD operations:

  • Create
  • Retrieve
  • Update
  • Delete

slide-31
SLIDE 31

What is a platform?

  • Someone controls the platform core, often referred to as the platform owner.
  • This can be one or several firms, and may be proprietary for-profit, or open source.
  • The apps are often developed by third parties, that is, other firms or actors.

  • JavaScript frameworks are used to make web development faster and easier.
  • They provide built-in functionality for common aspects of development so

that we do not have to built everything from scratch.

  • The most commonly used frameworks are React, Angular and Vue.

Micro-level (as developer and designer)

  • Relevant to software developers and designers as a significant part of

contemporary design and development now unfolds in relation to platforms and ecosystems

  • Thus, having practical experience with APIs, Design Systems, and app

development is relevant. Macro-level (as researcher, knowledgeable practitioner, system architect, project lead, etc.)

  • There is a “platformization” tendency within private and public sector
  • Private companies increasingly utilize platform architectures and attempts to

build innovative ecosystems around their software products.

  • Public organizations (NAV, Oslo Kommune, the health sector) are exploring

platform architectures and models to promote integration and innovation.

  • District Health Information Software 2 (DHIS2) will be used as an example of a

platform ecosystem in this course.

  • The software (platform core) is developed at the Department of Informatics

(Information systems research group), UiO

  • Supports collection, storage, analysis and presentation of health-related

information.

  • Used in over 80 countries world-wide.
  • Managed and implemented through the HISP network (lead by UiO)
  • 12 official implementation ‘groups’ in India, Bangladesh, Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya,

Nigeria, South Africa, Malawi, Vietnam, +++ Demo: https://play.dhis2.org/demo

with the core resources. Example: https://play.dhis2.org/2.29/api/resources

Group project

56

  • Develop web-app for the DHIS2 platform.
  • Teams of 4 - 5 students.
  • 1 - 4 different cases will be provided, and the teams are free to select one case

to “solve”.

  • The case will provide a background with information about the users, use,

and context, and a problem to be solved.

  • Based on the selected case, your group will define requirements for your

solution.

  • Your web-app should attempt to provide a solution to the problem, while

clearly taking into account the context and users of your case.

slide-57
SLIDE 57

Group project - presentations

57

Throughout the project, your team will give two mandatory presentations of your work: 1. Mid-project presentation (proposed solution and some implementation) 2. Final project presentation (Graded A-F. Counts 40% of your course grade) Presentation 1 will be held in the group sessions (on Zoom). Fellow students, group teachers, and course lecturers will be present. Each presentation (est. 5 min), will be followed by a discussion. Presentation 2 will be held in front of a panel of DHIS2 core developers and the course lecturers, which together decide the project grade. See details here
