Handout
Welcome to “ CSE 218: Advanced Topics in Software Engineering – Software Architectures for Distributed and Reactive Systems ”. You are in the right place if you want to understand better what the challenges and driving forces in constructing large software systems are, and how to develop software architectures without “making a mess of it”.
In particular, we will take a closer look at description techniques, formal foundations and methodologies for analyzing and constructing software architectures. We will also consider current infrastructures and middleware technologies for implementing software architectures, such as .NET, JINI, and CORBA.

Location: TM103, Room 1
Instructor: Ingolf Krueger, [email protected]

Grading
There will be no final exam. Your grade will be determined based on individual achievements and teamwork. Individual achievements are participation in classroom discussion, and two homework assignments. Project teamwork consists of 3-5 students working together on the specification and design of software architectures. This involves writing a project progress report (max. 5 pages), and a final project report (max. 20 pages) as a team effort. Individual achievements and teamwork contribute as follows to the overall grade:
35% Homework 15% Classroom participation 50% Project

Projects
Work on the projects is an important, integral part of this class; you will have an opportunity to identify, specify, design, and document important architectural aspects of one of the following systems:
- Advanced NICU Monitoring System (ANMS)
- Advanced Inflight Entertainment System (AIES)
- Advanced Teleconferencing System (ATS)
- Advanced Document Access System (ADAS)
Your task for each of these systems is to identify the central product requirements (what should the system do), to develop and document an architecture for the system (what are the fundamental system components and their relationships), and to investigate adequate implementation infrastructures on which the system could be built. Our focus is on architecture, not on implementation; therefore, your task is not to build a complete, running system. Prototypes used to identify, say, real-time properties for communicating objects, however, can and should be built where appropriate. The project report should, in particular, document the overall architecture and its underlying rationale. Project progress reports and final project reports are due on February 6, 2003, and March 13, 2003, respectively.
Project teams are welcome to meet with me for discussion sessions.
