Recommended Practice for Architectural Description of Software-Intensive System, ANSI/IEEE Std 1471 :: ISO/IEC 42010, http://www.iso-architecture.org/ieee-1471/Course Description: This is a special topics graduate course focusing on software architectures with an emphasis on risk assessment. The course starts by introducing the concepts of software architectures followed by presentations onthe modeling, design, and analysis techniques of software architectures. The coursethen introduces the concepts of product-line architecture and focuses on software architectures evaluation and risk assessment techniques. A term project and a term examination are used to assess the students learning process. The term project is to be done in teams of students. In-class Project Presentations and reviews will be conducted. Goals: The learning outcomes of this course are listed as follows:After finishing this course, the student should be able to:1. Specify the basic elements and justify the need of software architectures in the software development process.2. Specify the major tasks of software architecture development process based established software architecture standards. 3. Use architecture styles and patterns to develop quality software architecturesfollowing a systematic development process.4. Apply techniques and tools for software architecture evaluation and risk assessment.5. Identify research directions and problems in software architecture design, modeling, and evaluation. Topics: 1. Software Architecture: Principles and Practices2. Software Architectures Standards3. Modeling and Documenting Software Architectures4. Software Architecture Design and Analysis5.
