1. Name of the Course: Software Design and Architecture

2. LTP structure of the course: [2-2-0]

3. Objective of the course:

The main objective of this course is to provide students with the background to design, implement, and use mid size and large software systems. The software design aspects with special focus on Object Oriented Design can be started with Design objectives and will continue with OO Design Principles. The Design Patterns with GoF dictum to be discussed. The 23 classic Design Patterns may be explored to complete the Design Aspects whereas the Architectural consideration to be covered in next part of the Course. In the Architectural discussions the issues emanating from the concept of "Separation of Concerns" with different Architectural realizations has to be understood. The increasing role of Cloud services and how it affects the Architectural decisions is also proposed to be handled through Case Studies discussions.

The course though being core subject of all CSE/IT Master programs (Software Engineering specializations) and assumes special significance due to the highly competitive environment and the explosive use of the Internet and Cloud Services in Business-to-Client and Business-to-Business applications and thus need to be explored accordingly. Recent developments intechnologiesis proposed to beincluded.

4. Outcome of the course:

To understand the objectives of Software Architectural design.
To learn various Software Architecture prevalent wrtMVC , SOA etc.

Students can apply knowledge of Software Design techniques and apply appropriate architectural considerations to the projects. Students can analyze a problem, develop models and identify and define the functional and non-functional needs and requirements appropriate to its’ business context and solution. Students can use current techniques, skills, and tools necessary for developing software systems. An ability to use and apply current technical concepts and practices, students should develop the ability to explore recent advances. The capability to project mode problem solving needs to be incorporated.
