Software Architecture Design

Period: 7th Feb 2011 ~ Around May/June 2011

Streaming: IPv6 Multicast or HTTP
Application: VideoLAN

Instructor: Prof. Matthew Dailey, Asian Institute of Technology

Learning Objectives: Software architecture is emerging as a new discipline in response to the growing
complexity of software systems and the problems they attempt to solve. Learning objective of this course is to
familiarize students with the methodology, followed by software architects building complex systems that
create the illusion of simplicity through decomposition, abstraction, and encapsulation of functionality.

Broad Outline: This course focus primarily on software architecture “in the large,” at the level of the enterprise,
in which multiple applications must work together to support or automate business processes through
concurrent access to large amounts of complex persistent data. The course elaborates the design and
implementation of large-scale enterprise information system infrastructures, enterprise application integration,
and the modern distributed systems middleware technologies necessary to support enterprise application
development. Students taking the course will learn industry best practices through study of architectural design
patterns and put the principles to practice by designing and constructing an architectural prototype for a
significant real-world software project.
