Course Description

The course is an elective course designed for Engineering Master of Computer Science in International Engineering Institute. Software architecture is a hierarchical software design. The course contains the general organization, the global control, communication protocol, data storage, data storage, data storage and synchronization. It is required to design elements of a specific function, organize the design elements and choose the proper design pattern based on the size and performance. By the end of this course, students could develop a software based on certain conditions.

Prerequisite

• Relational database and SQL language: the SQL language about insertion, deletion, update and selection

• Proficiency in object-oriented programming : to use C++ or Java to design program

• Web technology : HTML and Script

Course Objectives

The course is to make students know how to develop an effective software in detail. After this course, students should be able to:

• Develop an application and pay attention to the details of the progress, and to

• Master the situation of different methods in the software architecture.

Course Syllabus

• Overview of the software architecture: the development of the software architecture and the demand of the quality

• Method of the software architecture: the method of the design pattern

• Software reuse and component library design: the communication protocol between the components, data synchronization protocol, etc.

• Software size measurement: the quality and maintainability of the software

• Organizational design of the software: the method of the prototype, the method of the waterfall, etc.
