Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

This course introduces basic concepts and principles about software design and software architecture. It starts with discussion on design issues, followed by coverage on design patterns. It then gives an overview of architectural structures and styles. Practical approaches and methods for creating and analyzing software architecture are presented. Students will also gain experiences with examples in design pattern application and case studies in software architecture.

Course Content:

Students will learn middleware architecture design principles. Students will understand requirements traceability and how to insure the system meets cross-cutting end-to-end software architectural properties. Using concepts from architecture description languages, they will learn to deconstruct existing systems and then extend them with new capabilities. They will be able to identify and compose design patterns. The class project will involve mixing architectural styles including distributed computing, service-oriented architectures, database-centric architectures, web architectures, email and AI architectures.
