Learning objectives

Knowledge

The student should gain knowledge of the following theories and methods:

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:

• 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

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