OFFICE/LAB HOURS:

Office Hours for Professor Rine, Spring 2005: 2:45 - 4:15 pm. Thurs. in STII-345.

Our Lab teaching and help sessions in STII-17 and STII-133 will be announced. Mr. Mahmoud Elish is the tutor (melish@gmu.edu) .

See the posting outside the STII-17, as well as STII-136-37, 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. Elish.

Our Lab teaching and help sessions are in STI - 128 and STII-133-137. They will be held periodically Monday through Friday. Mr. Mahmoud Elish is the Laboratory Tutor and you should look for his hours of availability. His email is melish@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-128 STI-128 or 133-137. You can also use Innovation Hall 310 or STII-133-137 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-128 or STII-133-137 and hold Office Hours, which they will have posted. Email them for help to:

Mr. Mahmoud Elish melish@gmu.edu. 

STI - 128 or STII-136-137 is the location of the usual CS421-631 teaching and tutoring sessions. Please attend regularly when possible. 

STII-133-137 LAB OPEN TIMES.

To see the times that the STII- 133-137 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 2004 software in STII- 133-137 and 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 2004 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 2004 from http://www.rational.com/ and then use its Key Administrator tool to activate IBM Rational Rose 2004 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 project.

CONTENT 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:

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.

The spring-05 Finals schedule is at the link

CS631 (both Sections) Midterm Exam is March, 4:30 - 7:15pm in the GMU campus classroom.

CS631 (both Sections) Final Exam is May, 4:30 - 7:15pm in the GMU campus classroom.

CS631 (both Sections) Class Project is due May, 4:30 - 7:15pm in the GMU campus classroom.

SYLLABUS CONTENT OUTLINE

1. Principles of Engineering Design and Modeling

2. Introduction to Design Patterns: Principles and Examples

3. Design Patterns in Designing Computer Systems and Applications

4. Programming Design Patterns in UML and Abstract Java

5. Advanced Topics in Design Patterns.

HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS DUE

Thursdays FEBRUARY - Study the Lecture Notes from JANUARY and then DO THE FOLLOWING:

PRELIMINARY ASSIGNMENTS IN THE GAMMA TEXTBOOK

A. Study pp. 221-222 on Behavioral Design Patterns, Chapter 5. Study IN DETAIL Observer Design Pattern,

pp. 293 - 303.

B. Study pp. 137-138 on Structural Design Patterns, Chapter 4. Study IN DETAIL

Proxy Design Pattern, pp. 207-217

Facade Design Pattern, pp. 185-193

Composite Design Pattern, pp. 163-173.

C. Code the above four design patterns in UML (Rational Rose), including each one's static

--design structure as CLASS DIAGRAM, and dynamic design structure as SEQUENCE DIAGRAM.

--Store each coded design pattern in its own, separate EXPORTED PTL file package for later reuse.

--Begin to work on how you would automatically IMPORT each one of the above PTL packaged design

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

-----classes. For example, where would a proxy design pattern usually be inserted? Where would an observer

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

D. As HOMEWORK, hand in the results of your UML coding in part C. above. Section 001 turns

these in as printouts.

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.
