SYLLABUS
CS631 is an Advanced Computer Science and Software Engineering Course.
Course
Description. (3:3:0). Prerequisites: SWE619 or SWE620 or CS540 or
CS571 or a Graduate Course in Object-Oriented Programming or
Equivalent. 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. Design
patterns are created in the logic view of the software system. A
study of generalized design solutions for generalized software
design problems. A study of the reusee of design patterns. Once
developed, design patterns may be specified in any
object-oriented language. PhD students can take the course as
IT822, if required.

DEDICATED TIMES.
To see the times
that the STII-17, 137 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.
RATIONAL SOFTWARE.
In addition to the Rational version 2001 software in STII-17, 137 and subset of version 4.0 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 term-limited copies of full commercial version of Rational Rose Enterprise 2001 Edition, SoDA, RequisitPro and other interesting tools by going to http://www.rational.com/ and clicking on the ‘Try It’ entry on the first page.
http://www.rational.com/accountlink.
You will use this version of Rational Rose (UML programming environment) to do your class project.
DESCRIPTION:
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:
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 combined project, homework and lab work comprise
the remaining 1/3 of the class grade. Students must hand in all
home - work and lab 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)*((1/3)*Homework
+ (2/3)*Projects)

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 into the
standard world-wide notation for presenting object-oriented
modeling and design.
