Course Details for A.Y. 2010/2011

Course Objectives

This course aims, on one hand, at in-depth enhancing the students’ knowledge acquired in the Software Engineering course, on the other end at introducing new topics. The latter ones can be summarized as: dealing with functional and non-functional properties of component-based systems, studying quantitative properties of software systems like reliability and performance, introducing advanced notions on UML and related technologies. Capabilities The course is intended to develop students’ capabilities for modeling and analyzing software systems, as well as capabilities of getting use to different tools that support such activities. This experience shall make them able, in future, to fully exploit the functionalities of any tool they will be exposed to
