Software engineering seminar [ LINGI2359 ]

• know and have experimented techniques and concepts associated with software development of large-size applications (as taught in the course INGI2251)

Current topics of software engineering such as:

• modeling, analysing, and improving software processes,
• reusing software products and processes,
• engineering secure applications,
• designing and analysing software architectures,
• domain-specific architectures,
• agent-oriented software,
• software testing,
• software engineering environments,
• formal methods,
• knowledge-based software engineering,
•  software reengineering,
• software engineering techniques for specific types of systems: open systems, web services, reactive systems, real-time systems, safety-critical systems, mobile systems, ubiquitous systems, hybrid systems, etc.

  Students completing successfully this course will be able to

• Understand and explain recent results from software engineering research.
• Assess the current state of the art in specific areas, and discuss open issues.
• Interrelate current issues of software engineering.

Students will have developed skills and operational methodology. In particular, they have developed their ability to

• self study (search for relevant material, assimilate/understand, evaluate/compare, summarise/illustrate)
• explain to others using efficient modern supports (slides, ...)
• participate actively to discussions in a research group

Presentation of ±2 hours

Report of ±20 pages

• as a reporter ... provides a personal synthesis of another session
• as an illustrator ... shows an interesting instantiation of the patterns explain in some session, on an application of your choice

Each student will play 3 different roles (in different sessions) :

• presenter at one session
• reporter for another session
• illustrator for yet another session

The last two involve to write of an individual report.

• architectural design patterns
