Course Objective

The course teaches how large, complex software systems are developed using modern software engineering methods and models. The participants will learn to analyze application scenarios and design information systems using the up-coming standard for object-oriented analysis and design, the Unified Modeling Language (UML). They will be able to implement the designed systems in the object-oriented programming language Java.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Capture user requirements in use cases and transform them into detailed designs
2   Exploit the rich object-oriented modeling provided by Unified Modeling Language (UML)
3   Adapt to changing requirements with iterative techniques and component-based design
4   Design solutions optimized for modern object-oriented languages and platforms
