Architectures for Software Systems: A Curriculum Development Proposal in Undergraduate Software Engineering.

摘要

This curriculum development project had as its primary goal the development of a course that augments existing undergraduate software curricula by teaching concepts, techniques, and examples at the architectural level of software design. Specifically, Architectures for Software Systems would: (1) Teach students how to understand and evaluate designs of existing software systems from an architectural perspective; (2) Provide students with the intellectual building blocks for designing new systems in principled ways using well-understood architectural paradigms; (3) Show students how formal notations and models can be used to characterize and reason about a system design; and (4) Familiarize students with concrete examples of actual system architectures that can serve as models for new designs.
