Implementing IT solutions
Map from problem to solution
Overview
➔ Problem statement
➔ Express solution
➔ Map and address the problem and
solve with computational solution
and simulations
◆ Recall of computational thinking
◆ Map concept to design and
implementation
◆ Validation and Simulation
Recall the CT

“
Problem solving technique that
formulate the problem in order to
get the most efficient solution
(computational solutions)
(Wing 2010)
 Denning’s great principle of computing
➔ Computation: execution of an algorithm, a process starting in some initial
state and going through intermediate states until a goal is reached
➔ Communication: transmission of information among objects or processes
➔ Coordination: control of the timing and interactions during the
computation
➔ Recollection: representation/organization of data to enable access, search,
use
➔ Automation: mapping of computations to physical systems (e.g.,
algorithms to executable programs)
➔ Evaluation: statistical, numerical, experimental analysis of data
➔ Design: organization (using abstraction, modularization, aggregation,
decomposition) of a system, process, object,
Computational Solutions
➔ Show main computer aspects
(input-process-output)
➔ Focus on mapping problem to
offered solution not answering
other problem that not related
➔ Data requirement and information
produce
➔ Automation
The key dimensions of CT framework

➔ Computational concept
◆ concept that designer engage with to
support their solutions (iteration,
search, sort, parallelism)
➔ Computational practice
◆ Problem solving concept, brainstorming,
remix and recite solution that is
invented by others
The key dimensions of CT framework

➔ Computational perspectives
◆ concept that designer create about the
world around them and about
themselves
Test your solution
➔ Choose your test methods (Black
Box testing)
➔ Create scenario
➔ User feedback is important
➔ Measure important aspect that
you have been mentioned in the
problem statement
➔ Evaluate the result
Simulation
➔ Replicate the real situation of
events
➔ Aim to reduce risk
◆ Flight simulator
◆ Operation simulator
➔ Analyse some phenomenon
◆ Tsunami simulator
◆ Earthquake simulator
➔ Decrease cost production
◆ Prototype
