CO7205—Advanced System Design
- Convenor:
- Dr E. Tuosto
- Description:
Complexity is a recurrent issue in Software Engineering. Since the
early days of IT, building complex software systems has been a major
challenge and the problems that it raises keep making headlines on
the press. In order to address these problems, more and more
emphasis is being put into techniques that support the higher levels
of system design, namely advanced modelling languages and software
architecture. These levels allow us to ``move away'' from code and
understand how systems are required to operate based on models.
Models reflect an abstract architecture for the software system in
the sense that they are organised in terms of components (that
perform local computations) and how they coordinate with each other
by some communication mechanisms. This module provides an
introduction to modelling techniques for distributed applications.
