OFFICE/LAB HOURS:

Office Hours for Professor Rine, Fall 2005: 2:15 - 4:00 pm. Thurs. in STII-345.

Our Lab teaching and help sessions in STI and STII-133 will be announced. Mr. Raheem Rufai is the tutor (rrufai@gmu.edu) .

See the posting outside the STI and STII-133 rooms, and see http://www.ite.gmu.edu/labs/.

If you wish to attend a tutor teaching on Rational Rose UML attend one of those for my CS421 students in the schedule posted by Mr. Rufai.

Our Lab teaching and help sessions are in STI and STII-133. They will be held periodically Monday through Friday. Mr. Raheem Rufai is the Laboratory Tutor and you should look for his hours of availability. His email is rrufai@gmu.edu . Please contact him directly with any Lab questions you may have. The posting of the repeated tutor sessions is always found by seeing his posting for STI- or STII-133. You can also use Innovation Hall 310 or STII-133 during normal hours or get an omni lock code for all other hours. See

 see http://www.ite.gmu.edu/labs/. for further details.

LAB ASSISTANT:

The following CS631 Assistant will staff STI- or STII-133 rooms and hold Office Hours, which will have posted. Email questions for help to:

Mr. Raheem Rufai at rrufai@gmu.edu . 

STI - or STII-133 is the location of the usual CS421-631 teaching and tutoring sessions. Please attend regularly when possible. 

STII-133 LAB OPEN TIMES.

To see the times that the STII- 133 IBM Rational Rose Lab is dedicated to CS421-631 class sections view the schedule on http://www.ite.gmu.edu/labs/. For other individual times you need to fill out a request for your personal Omni Lock Code. Forms are available outside the STII-160 ITE Office.

IBM RATIONAL SOFTWARE. UML

In addition to the IBM Rational Rose WINDOWS version 2005 software in STII- 133, Innovational Hall 310 and an optional subset of UML 2.0 from the CD in the back of the UML Toolkit paperback from the textbooks section of the GMU Bookstore in the Johnson Center, you can down load to your own PC WINDOWS term-limited copies of full commercial version of Rational Rose Enterprise 2005 Edition and other interesting tools by going to http://www.rational.com/ and signing in.

After the semester starts up, you will be asked to download a full commercial WINDOWS version of IBM Rational Rose 2005 from http://www.rational.com/ and then use its Key Administrator tool to activate IBM Rational Rose 2005 by use of the Key and Account numbers distributed in your class through the following URL

https://licensing.rational.com/accountlink/transactionType.

You will use this WINDOWS version of Rational Rose (UML programming environment) to do your class projects.

CONTENT DESCRIPTION:

Principles of object-oriented design through design patterns. A study of the selection of appropriate object-oriented structure after the systems requirements or requirements specification of the software system have been developed. To improve design, design patterns are created in the logic view of a software system. A study of generalized design solutions for generalized software design problems. A study of software reuse and the reuse of design patterns. Once developed, design patterns may be specified in any object-oriented language. However in this course we follow the standard practice of using the UML approach to coding design patterns, the parts of a design pattern are its classes diagram, its scenario, and its sequence diagram or interaction diagram.

GRADING POLICY:

IMPORTANT. Attendance and class participation in either the NEW/NEW distanced education section of the STII-12 section is required of all students taking the class for credit.

A midterm examination and a final examination each count 1/3 of the class grade on a 100 point scale; and grading is proficiency-based, no curve. The project and associated lab work comprise the remaining 1/3 of the class grade. Students must hand in all project-related work that is requested to be turned in, but students may work on homework and lab work in their project team groups. It is understood that the project is a major time commitment, and students must work in their groups, taking advantage of communications technology when appropriate.

GRADE SCORE:

Score = (1/3)*MidTerm + (1/3)*Final + (1/3)*Project, assuming class participation.

-----patterns into its best designed position in the sequence of actor, interface, boundary, control and entity

-----design pattern usually be inserted? Where would a facade design pattern usually be inserted?

UML (Unified Modeling Language) is the defacto industry standard for developing Object-oriented software. UML has been certified by the international certifying organization Object Management Group (OMG) whose web page is http://www.omg.org/UML is evolving (UML 2) into the standard world-wide notation for presenting object-oriented modeling and design. For those who can afford to do so I would also recommend the very latest 'The Unified Modeling Language Reference Manual, Second Edition,' by Rumbaugh et. al., Covers UML 2.0, Has a CD ROM, Addison-Wesley, 2004-2005.
