Information: |
Software Architecture is the discipline of designing and specifying software
systems. As we move towards larger and larger (or ultra large scale) systems, having well-designed architecture and system models will be an essential element for producing software that is of high quality and feasible to maintain. Several recent trends such as the adoption of software product line engineering (SPLE) by many sectors of industry, and a move towards designing self-adaptive software that can respond to environmental changes, indicate that software architecture is becoming a more and more important part of the software process.
In this course, students will study software architecture with a focus on software validation techniques that leverage architectural models. Students will learn an architectural description language, will be exposed to feature modeling for SPLE, and learn about self-adaptive software. The course will consist of some individual homework assignments, paper reviews and presentations and as well as a term project. Some additional course slots may be used to accommodate for travel. This will be discussed on day one. The course will have a substantial project and will
require strong class participation.

| Academic Dishonesty | |
|
Unacceptable collaboration will be considered a
violation of the Student Code of Conduct, and will result in a failing
grade for the course. In addition, the incident will be reported to the CSE Department
in accordance with the CSCE department policy on academic integrity.
You are responsible to read the CSCE department policy and adhere to it. Please make sure if you
obtain ideas from others you give credit to your source. If questions arise during the course
of working on a problem, please feel free to
contact the instructor for a clarification either by telephone, electronic mail,
or by an office visit. Please see the CSE Departmental Academic Integrity Policy for more details. |
