Catalogue Description
223 Software Architecture (4). Study of the concepts, representation techniques, development methods, and tools for architecture-centric software engineering. Topics include domain-specific software architectures, architectural styles, architecture description languages, software connectors, and dynamism in architectures.

Structure
The class will be discussion oriented. Papers must have been read beforehand and discussion will be seeded by critical opinions, questions, and challenges that each student will write on the whiteboard each week at the beginning of the discussion. These discussions will primarily take place on Tuesdays.

Project
Each student will perform a practical research project. The research project must result in a tangible technology, the form of which will be discussed in class. Discussion regarding progress and issues that may arise will take place on Thursdays.

Grades
All students enrolled in the course will earn a letter grade based upon: (a) class attendance and participation, (b) the critical opinions, questions, and challenges shared with the class to seed the discussions, and (c) the class project.
