The staff of the Information Systems Department study models to organize data including relational databases, distributed databases, and XML. We also specialize in data mining, an emerging field wherein researchers learn to make inferences by retrieving useful information from a mass of data. Some of our other subjects include machine learning, web ontology and geographic information systems.
If you study information systems at Nha Trang University, you will have state-of-the-art courses on the latest web and computing technologies, analysis and design techniques, and enduring principles comprising the foundational areas of the field. You will learn not only how to design and build software for applications, but also how to integrate them into corporate and government decision making systems, how to manage them and how to evaluate their effectiveness. You will gain a comprehensive understanding of the role of Information Systems in our increasingly high-tech digital and web-based economy.
