- This three (3) week course is an intensive course.
- Every day, for three weeks, there are two course sessions.
- A morning 2 hour lecture session.
- And an afternoon 2 hour project session.
- In addition you have to work, typically 2-3 hours every day on your
project.
- Do not contemplate this course unless you are willing to devote
yourself.
- But then this course will be an eye-opener.
- It will fundamentally change your view of computer & computing
science, software engineering and informatics.

- Lecture notes and slides are, as of March 3, 2010, relative complete.
- You may expect updates up to day of lecture.
- The aim of the course is to cover a number of
"front-of-the-wave" software engineering topics:
- The Triptych of Software Engineering phases of
- Domain Engineering and
- Requirements Engineering.
It is the aim to show how these three phases relate.
- To show the dual benefit of both
- precise national language Narratives coupled with
- Formal Specification.
- To show that the new element of software engineering, namely
domain engineering, has a number of precise methodological
stages of
- intrinsic,
- support technology,
- rules & regulations,
- script,
- management & organisation and
- human behaviour
facets.
- To show that the requirements engineering now has a rather
different methodology, including:
- domain requirements, with its
- projection,
- instantiation,
- determination,
- extension and
- fitting
domain-to-requirements operations.
- The objectives of the course and the course project is to
- secure that course participants
- get a professional education and part-training as responsible
software engineers and
- are exposed to a number of exciting research topics.
- The objectives are further that the course participants become
acutely aware of and familiar with
- ability to express themselves
- both in informal, yet precise natural language
- and in some formal specification language.
- Finally it is an objective of the course that the course
participants
- discover the need for a serious attention,
- in software engineering,
- as well as in computing science research
to domain engineering.
- It is also an objective to for the students to learn to write
formal specification using
RSL
,
the
RAISE
S
pecification
L
anguage.
RAISE
stands for
R
igorous
A
pproach to
I
ndustrial
S
oftware
E
ngineering.
Students may work out the formal aspects of their course report in
Alloy, Event B, VDM-SL
or
Z
, instead of
RSL
.
- Exam consist of two parts:
- a report, possibly worked out individually, or in subgroups, or
by full group of course participants;
- a two hour written test,
Fri.30.4, 9:00-11:00
- Written test checks your understanding of your own and your
fellow students' reports !
- Students are to choose one of the below topics for their term
project:
- Airports, Airlines, Air Traffic
- Financial Service Industry
- Banking
- Commodities Exchange (Brokers, Traders, Stock Exchanges, ...)
- Credit Cards
- Insurance
- Portfolio Management
- Regulatory Agencies
- Health Care
- Hospitals
- Private Physicians / Family Doctors
- Pharmacies
- Insurance
- National Health Service
- Logistics and Transportation
- "The Market":
- Consumers
- Retailers
- Wholesalers
- Producers
- Distribution Chain
- The Gas/Oil Industry
- Pipelines
- Refineries
- Shipping
- Distribution
- Or other !
- Class is decomposed into
groups of typically 3 students each
- Each group selects or is given a subtopic to work on
- Each group delivers simple hand written notes Wed. and
Fri. first week and
- then LATEX printed notes twice a week following two weeks
- Mon. + Thu., or
- Tue. + Fri.
as assigned by lecturer.
- Groups give copies to all class students at the time of
delivering these reports
to the lecturer, namely just before
afternoon session.
- Lecturer goes through delivered reports in class and suggests
ideas etc.
- Groups are more than welcome to consult the Lecturer outside
session hours:
- 11:15-12:00am, 1:00-1:45pm, 4:15-5:30pm, Monday-Friday
- in lecturers' office
- The report shall follow a format with respect to sections,
subsections, etc., set by the lecturer.
- The report shall describe a domain in clear and crisp English
--
- and preferably also in some formal specification languages (SLs)
- Alloy, Event B, RAISE/RSL, VDM-SL, Z, etc., or in good, simple
Mathematics !
- VDM stands for the Vienna Development Method !
- If a group does not know an SL, then try "mimic" the lecturer's
RAISE/RSL.
- You will not be judged harshly, but according to your honest attempt !
- Project Report to be submitted
Fri.30.4, 8:30-8:45 am
- Lecturer will evaluate exam and report
Early May
- Consolidated grades will be published
Mid May
- My book in Chinese:
