Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

Learning objectives

Knowledge

Object-oriented modelling in analysis and design:

  • modelling of context (application domain and problem domain)
  • object-oriented concepts: class, object, event, structure, function, use patterns, component, component architecture
  • UML: class diagram, state chart diagram, sequence diagram, diagram for use patterns

Modelling with patterns:

  • patterns for modelling application and problem domains
  • patterns for composing components
  • specifically the patterns for analysis: object-descriptor, hierarchy, stepwise-role, materials, procedure
  • specifically the patterns for design: collection, layered, observer, client-server, model-view-controller

System development methods:

  • waterfall method and model-driven development
  • iterative method and prototype-driven development
  • activities in systems development and relations between activities

 Systems practices:

  • techniques to determine the specific method
  • the relation between methodology and practice
  • strengths and weaknesses of model-driven and prototype-driven development

Skills

  • be able to explain accurately, using the concepts and modelling language of the discipline
  • be able to model the requirements to a system, its context and all its various parts (model, features and interfaces)
  • be able to model a system design at component level and describe relations between components.

Competences

  • able to apply concepts, patterns and modelling language to describe a specific system that solves a well-defined task
