I announce that the textbook by Carlo Batini on "How to Design an
Information System” is freely downloadable at

The textbook is under Creative Common Licence, and is the result of a long
experience and continuous renovation in the teaching of the topic.
Information Systems are seen in the textbook as the junction among data
(represented with the Entity Relationship model), processes (represented
with the Business Process Modeling Notation) and organization. The three
issues are considered together along the Information system lifecycle, from
Requirements collection and State reconstruction to Architectural design
and Costing. Several examples and case studies are discussed, and some
exercises are proposed, with solutions.



In this edition, classical information systems that make use of databases
are taken into consideration, I hope in the future to extend the approach
to data lake based information systems.



The textbook can be used in conjunction with the text on Database Modeling
and Design, freely downloadable from
