The novelty proposed in this work regarding teaching and training of software engineering is about how the Project-Based Learning approach is performed for developing a web system for managing academic projects. The supporting project is a real-life problem. Its development was planned in four phases: prototype, code refactoring, release-to-manu-facturing and deployment. We employed some strategies...
Over time, source code tends to drift from the intended software architecture, often resulting in the loss of desired software qualities. To help keep code aligned with the intended architecture, the developers of core parts of the open source Eclipse platform introduced API Tools to express and check architectural rules. Researchers analyzed five years of Eclipse architecture-checking reports that...
We present our approach in conducting an OBTL-based (Outcomes-Based Teaching and Learning) software engineering course that incorporated many constructively aligned TLA (Teaching, Learning and Assessment) techniques. This course is offered in the fourth semester of the Bachelor of Engineering (Honors) degree program in the Computer Science and Engineering Department at the University of Moratuwa....
The following topics are dealt with: educational technology; information technology; database technology; artificial intelligence; computer architecture; software engineering; computer graphics; control technology; systems engineering; network technology; communication technology; computer education; distance education; life-long education; active learning; faculty development; innovative pedagogies;...
Wireless sensor network (WSN) has been a hot research topic and widely deployed in many settings that require data acquisition, processing and communication on sensor devices equipped with a simple low powered microcontroller. This computing paradigm on long lasting operations of battery powered devices is resulted from state-of-the-art research efforts of computer science (CS) and computer engineering...
In this article, David Garlan, Robert Allen, and John Ockerbloom reflect on the state of architectural mismatch, a term they coined in their 1995 IEEE Software article, "Architectural Mismatch: Why Reuse Is So Hard." Although the nature of software systems has changed dramatically since the earlier article was published, the challenge of architectural mismatch remains an important concern...
Formalized testing is to improve quality of software product based on software architecture. It is an important research in the fields of software engineering. Testing criteria are conditions which software testing must satisfy. Therefore, the highly effective testing strategy is very important. This paper introduces pi Behavior Graph that describes software architecture. We propose seven testing...
With the development of computer science and technology, computer applications are gradually turning to structure design from code design. In order to improve computer performance and enhance the application level of computer architecture in software engineering, the college of Computer Science and Technology in Zhejiang University has proposed a teaching reform idea, in which Digital Logic, Computer...
Flexibility in software systems is needed to allow adaption to increasing demands of users. To ease the development of flexible architectures several approaches are used, which often differ already on the conceptual grounds. Two of these paradigms are characterized by the strong underlying metaphors plugins and agents. Plugins emphasize on an extension relation between pairs of components where each...
The following topics are dealt with: communication systems and networks; computer architecture and VLSI; computer science, information science; control systems; intelligent systems; data mining, data warehousing and database; image processing and pattern recognition; image, acoustic, speech and signal processing; information management systems; intelligent agent technology; agent based systems; Internet...
This paper provides an overview of work being done in the EntryPoint project, which is examining the first course work in computing degrees. A key goal of this project is to move away from the traditional CS1/CS2 programming courses as the start of a computing degree. In addition, the project team is looking at how these ideas might be extended to BSSE degree programs. As such, this paper will discuss...
The Open Distributed Processing Reference Model (ODP-RM) provides viewpoints and abstract infrastructure guidelines that can be used for a basis for enterprise architecture, especially for an inter-enterprise architecture. The ODP-RM does not prescribe methodology for modeling itself, but provides common vocabulary and focus for description. This paper performs a brief analysis of the ODP-RM (and...
Evidence-based software engineering (EBSE) describes a process of identifying, understanding and evaluating findings from research and practice-based experience. This process aims at improving software engineering decisions. For the last three years, EBSE has been taught to university students at Hedmark University College, Rena, Norway. The motivation for the EBSE-course is that it is essential for...
The trend over the past decade in computer science and computer engineering curricula has been to use computer graphics as a junior- or senior-level elective course focusing on 3-D graphics and data visualization. Alternatively, it is possible to develop a computer graphics course that can address core curricular needs beyond its obvious topical and algorithmic scope. The development of an interactive...
This paper is aimed at software engineering practitioners and researchers, who are familiar with object-oriented analysis, design and programming and want to obtain an overview of the technologies that are enabling component-based development. We introduce the idea of component-based development by defining the concept and providing its economic rationale. We describe how object-oriented programming...
In this state-of-the-art report, we review advances in distributed component technologies, such as the Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) specification and the CORBA component model (CCM). We assess the state of industrial practice in the use of distributed components. We show several architectural styles for whose implementation distributed components have been used successfully. We review the use of iterative...
