Course Scope:

• UML diagrams: activity, dataflow, class, event-trace, structure charts, and state.
• Analysis based on load models and some queuing theory.
• Prototype code, using C# and the .Net Framework Class Libraries.

Five projects are required that are progressively more challenging. The first and second projects are concerned with describing the architecture needed to realize a set of requirements and its implementation, respectively. The third and fourth projects repeat this for a more complex, distributed, system. The final project requires the creation of an architecture for a large, complex, distributed system.

The use of C# and the .Net Framework Class Libraries are required. This is covered by the class text and in help sessions conducted by the instructor and teaching assistants. A lot of work outside of class is expected. Students that complete this course with good grades will understand how to lay the foundations for the successful development of large, distributed systems.

Required Texts, Notes, and Projects:

1. Pro C# 2008 and the .Net 3.5, Andrew Troelsen, Apress, 2007, ISBN 978-1-59059-884-9
2. Class Notes, available on www.ecs.syr.edu/faculty/fawcett/handouts/cse681
3. UML dotnet quickstart tutorials dotnetjunkies Core Technologies .Net Code Samples by Mike Woodring
4. Five projects are required: three require creation of an Operational Concept Document (OCD) to record a software architecture. Three require code to implement the systems of the first two OCDs and to provide prototypes for the final project.
