Abstract
The article considers an approach to training of students at an economic university in the "Software and Administration of Information Systems" domain that employs the interdisciplinary design technology. The introduction of IT technologies in production processes is taking place in domains other than computer sciences. In this article, the public catering industry is the focus of research. Theo object of research is the organization of unusual serving of dishes and drinks in catering organizations. A research objective is the development of a hardware-software system (HSS) which will serve dishes automatically. On the basis of the analysis of existing decisions a digital control system for models of trains of scale 1:22 made by LGB and PIKO companies is proposed. For building the HASS, an Arduino's microcontroller is used which is built upon integrated environment of a cross-platform application on Java. For the development of the software of integrated management of the railroad .NET Framework and the C# programming language is used. For the creation of the user interface the Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) technology is used, allowing one to create the Windows client applications with visually attractive opportunities of interaction with the user, being a graphic (presentation) subsystem as a part of .NET Framework (starting with version 3.0) using the XAML language. As a result, basic requirements were formulated which led to the creation of the hardware-software system of automation of food and drink service that possesses a user-friendly interface. The requirements include the management of the periphery, management of the models of trains, general requirements to the system, requirements to the user interface. The system passed trial operation and is introduced at Vauxhall restaurant in Yekaterinburg, which is confirmed by an appropriate certificate. The technology of development of the hardware-software system making it possible to automate the process of the delivery of dishes and drinks in catering facilities that is described in the article makes it possible take the organization of management in catering business to a whole new level, to attract customers, reduce the time of service and reduce catering staff.
