Several reasons you should take this
course...
 You can have a comprehensive picture of software
development process
 You can have hands-on experiences on component
oriented development.
• You will obtain the skill on UML, XML,
CORBA/COM/EJB, and tools (Rose etc).,
• You will have object-oriented programming (Java).
• You will get a reasonable grade when you completed
all the class requirements.

However…
 This course requires heavy load of work.
• Class survey (1999)
– Compute the average time spent for cs451 related activities
(hrs/week): average 3hrs/day
•
Individual work
• Project Related work
– designing/coding/learning skills
– meeting & communication
– updating web-materials

12 hrs.
However…
 What would you suggest to next year's students?
– Don't take many more 400 level or above classes while taking
this one.
– Pick out a class to drop, join the witness protection program so
that your friends and family cannot find you, and constantly
remind yourself it will be over in sixteen weeks.
– Don't take this class with more than 6 other credits, too much
work, unable to do well.
– STUDY!!!
– Keep up with the text to avoid pileup of readings.

Today’s Software Systems?
• A software environment (i.e., Internet) is evolving rapidly
and software requirements and technologies are also
evolving very rapidly.
• Some requirements and characteristics of the current
system can be determined as comparability,
heterogeneity, scalability, openness, security and
distribution.
• Are you ready for this? It is necessary to understand the
current trend of software systems and to identify the
technologies and requirements for the system
development.

Real World Example: Hong Kong Telecom
…
• Video-on-demand: provide subscribers with facilities to
download videos from HK TK servers to low-cost Web-TVs.
• currently 90,000 users.
• Built using distributed object-technology.
CS551 - Lecture 1
13
Requirements
• Hardware:
• Communication across Network
– Clients: Web-TV
– How to transmit complex data
structures across the Internet?
– Servers: RISC processor
• Scale
• Operating System
Heterogeneity :
– Scaling from initially several
hundred to currently 90,000
– Clients: Java OS
users
– Servers: UNIX
• Security
• Programming Language
– Secure Payment
Heterogeneity:
– Authentication
– Clients: Java
– Servers: C++

Why Software Engineering?
...to get away from ad hoc and
unpredictable software development
towards a systematic, understood one...

Component-Based Software Engineering?
• An emerging concept called "a component-based
software" appears to be a solution for the
development of software system.
• The component-based software engineering
focuses on the entities (objects) developed and the
components intended from their inception to be
used within a framework in which they are placed
in containers and combined with other
components.
CS551 - Lecture 1
18
Goals of this Course
• To study the development of component-based software
systems (with hands-on experience)
• To introduce the concept of software component,
including its relationship to the object-oriented
programming paradigm.
• To learn how to specify and design, using UML, the basic
building blocks present in component frameworks,
including events, properties, introspection and reflection,
persistence, and packaging.
CS551 - Lecture 1
19
Goals of this Course
• To introduce/compare/evaluate different component
frameworks, including XML, Enterprise Java Beans (EJB),
COM and CORBA.
• To give students hands-on experience in programming
components using Java, XML and component development
environments (CORBA, COM, EJB).
• To achieve an understanding of how components work in a
distributed computing environment.

Requirements for this Course
 Critical Reading/Thinking:
 Students are required to read and assimilate
information from the readings beyond the material
covered in class.
 Throughout the semester, papers and chapters of the
texts will be read and discussed.
• Discovery (Self-guided) Learning: The course and
group project will require independent research and
programming, and students are expected to be able to
demonstrate ability of this kind.
CS551 - Lecture 1
21
Requirements for this Course
 Analytical Writing/Presentation:
 Students are asked to think critically and reason
about information presented in the textbooks or
papers.
 This critical evaluation requires that students offer
their own understanding of the significance of what
students have learned. Students should be able to
present their knowledge to the public.
