Aims
To enhance students software development and problem solving skills
To develop problem decomposition and analysis skills
To implement the problem solution in a relevant programming language
Learning Outcomes
1.
Apply problem decomposition methodologies to analyse computer forensic problems.
2.
Identify solutions to simple computer forensics problems using a range of software development problem solving techniques.
3.
Apply programming/scripting techniques to computer forensics problems.
4.
Carry out structured evaluation and reflection of the developed solution.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Problem solving: flow diagrams, pseudocode, information representation, algorithms, encapsulation, abstraction, dividing big problems, combining small solutions, etc.
Forensics case studies; searching for patterns in large data, searching for similarity, summarising information in a data set, organising information.
Implementation and prototyping and testing and validation.
Reflection.
Module Overview:
In this module you will apply your understanding in two assessments. First, you will apply design and problem analysis techniques to a relevant case study scenario involving computer forensics. Second, you will translate such a design into a software solution. This will enhance your software development and problem solving skills, and develop your problem decomposition and analysis skills.
