Formelle forudsætninger:
To sign up for the course you should have good knowledge on object-oriented programming, e.g. by working as a software developer with object oriented languages for at least 2 years.
For M.Sc. students: you should have skills in object oriented programming at least on a level comparable to the object oriented programming course offered at the IT University. Preferably, you have experience with object oriented software development through participating in a small or medium size software engineering project. You should be familiar with the notion and usage of object oriented design patterns like 'facade', 'factory', or 'observer pattern'.
Læringsmål:
At the conclusion of the course, the students are expected to be able to:
• Argue the importance and role of software architecture in large scale software systems.
• Design and motivate software architecture for large scale software systems.
• Recognise major software architectural styles, design patterns, and frameworks.
• Describe a software architecture using various documentation approaches and architectural description languages.
• Generate architectural alternatives for a problem and select among them.
• Use well-understood paradigms for designing new systems.
• Identify and assess the quality attributes of a system at the architectural level.
• Motivate the architectural concerns and approach for families of products.
• Discuss and evaluate the current trends and technologies such as model-driven, service-oriented, and aspect-oriented architectures.
• Evaluate the coming attractions in software architecture research and practice.
