The Distance Education Program does not supply textbooks as part of the
course support. Textbooks required for Software Engineering courses may be
purchase from your favorite bookseller. 651. +Models of Software Systems
Scientific foundations for software engineering depend on the use of
precise, abstract models for characterizing and reasoning about properties
of software systems. This course considers many of the standard models for
representing sequential and concurrent systems, such as state machines,
algebras, and traces. It shows how different logics can be used to specify
properties of software systems, such as functional correctness, deadlock
freedom, and internal consistency. Concepts such as composition mechanisms,
abstraction relations, invariants, non-determinism, inductive definitions
and denotational descriptions are recurrent themes throughout the course. This course provides the formal foundations for the other core courses.
Notations are not emphasized, although some are introduced for
concreteness. Examples are drawn from software applications. After completing this course, students will:
. understand the strengths and weaknesses of certain models and logics
including state machines, algebraic and process models, and temporal
logic
. be able to select and describe appropriate abstract formal models for
certain classes of systems, describe abstraction relations between
different levels of description, and
. reason about the correctness of refinements
. be able to prove elementary properties about systems described by the
models introduced in the course Prerequisite: Undergraduate discrete math including first-order logic,
sets, functions, relations, proof techniques (such as induction). If possible, Methods of Software Development should be taken concurrently.
[ASYN] 652. +Methods of Software Development
Practical development of software requires an understanding of successful
methods for bridging the gap between a problem to be solved and a working
software system. This course focuses specifically on methods that guide the
software engineer from requirements to code. The course will provide
students with both a broad understanding of the space of current methods,
and specific skills in using these methods. After completing this course, students will:
. be able to use at least two software engineering methods effectively and
make a critical assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of a broad
range of methods
. understand the dimensions along which methods differ
. understand the tradeoffs in making choices along those dimensions. Prerequisite: Experience with at least one large software system, either
through industrial software development experience or an undergraduate
course in software engineering, compilers, operating systems, or the like. If possible, this course should be taken either concurrently or after
Models of Software Systems and Management of Software Development.

654. +Managing Software Development
Large scale software development requires the ability to manage resources -
both human and computational - through control of the development process.
This course provides the knowledge and skills necessary to lead a project
team, understand the relationship of software development to overall
product engineering, estimate time and costs, and understand the software
process. Topics include life cycle models, requirements elicitation,
configuration control, environments, and quality assurance, all of which
are used broadly in other core courses and the Studio. After completing this course, students will:
. be able to write a software project management plan, addressing issues of
risk analysis, schedule, costs, team organization, resources, and
technical approach
. be able to define the key process areas of the Capability Maturity Model
and the technology and practices associated with each and a variety of
software development life cycle models and explain the strengths,
weaknesses, and applicability of each
. understand the relationship between software products and overall
products (if embedded), or the role of the product in the organizational
product line
. understand the legal issues involved in liability, warranty,
patentability, and copyright
. understand the purpose and limitations of software development standards
and be able to apply sensible tailoring where needed
. be able to use software development standards for documentation and
implementation
. be able to apply leadership principles
. be able to perform requirements elicitation Prerequisite: Students must have had industrial software engineering
experience with a large project, or a comprehensive undergraduate course in
software engineering.
