Why ?

• Programming, Coding, Algorithms, are essential
  knowledge
• But
• Designing real software
• is an exercise of managing complexity of
• Requirements (functional and non-functional)
• Concerns (distribution, data access).
• Thus, we need methods for
• Design in the large

3
What ?

• Course goals
• Understanding principles and methods of
  architectural design
• Investigating properties of proven software
  architectures

4
How ?

• Start from general design principles
• Identify classes of problems/applications and
  their solutions as architectural styles and
  patterns
• Learn by case-studies
• Successful systems and their software
  architectures
• Identify the architectural patterns used in
  representative software for
• Adaptive systems
• Distributed systems
• Data access
• Interoperability
• Focus on the common design principles behind
  well-known systems, technologies, frameworks

5
Design problem
Our focus in this course How its made ?
Architectural design principles (Architectural
styles and patterns)
Tehnologies, Frameworks APIs
RMI, .NET Remoting
Object Request Broker Pattern
Metalayer Architecture
Reflection (in Java,.NET)
Data Access Patterns
Object-Relational Mappers
6
Lab

• Applying the learned concepts in practice is
  essential
• 3-4 projects - design and implementation
• Final grade 50 written exam 50 projects
