Software Design and Architecture

This document provides an overview of a course on software design and architecture. The course will cover topics such as design patterns, frameworks, architectures, middleware technologies, component-based design, and measuring/evaluating designs. Students will learn how to apply design patterns and architectures, design distributed systems using middleware, and modify designs using change control. Assessment will include exams, homework, a group report and presentation on a design topic. The report should be 15-20 pages and include a 10-20 minute presentation. Textbooks and references on software architecture and refactoring are also listed.

Software Design and Architecture

Course Description:

An in-depth look at software design. Continuation of the study of design patterns, frameworks,
and architectures. Survey of current middleware architectures. Design of distributed systems
using middleware. Component based design. Measurement theory and appropriate use of
metrics in design. Designing for qualities such as performance, safety, security, reusability,
reliability, etc. Measuring internal qualities and complexity of software. Evaluation and evolution
of designs. Basics of software evolution, reengineering, and reverse engineering.

Prerequisites: SE211

Learning outcomes:

Upon completion of this course, students will have the ability to:

• Apply a wide variety of design patterns, frameworks, and architectures in designing a wide
variety of software.
• Design and implement software using several different middleware technologies.
• Use sound quality metrics as objectives for designs, and then measure and assess designs to
ensure the objectives have been met.
• Modify designs using sound change control approaches.
• Use reverse engineering techniques to recapture the design of software.
