Examination 100% - length 3 hours (learning outcomes 1-4)

Different Design Patterns:
Delegation vs inheritance
O-O design patterns, GOF type - managing behaviour, other O-O patterns
Applying patterns to application domains
Integrating frameworks e.g. .NET, J2EE, CORBA
Enterprise architectures, web based architectures 2 & 3 tier architectures
Databases- decoupling databases from applications, saving & restoring state
Networks
Designing Internal & External Interfaces
Issues surrounding internal & external Interfaces
Surrogates, object trees,
Exploiting libraries for connectivity
RPC's, RMI CORBA
Event Driven Applications
MVC (Model View Control) architecture & Event handling
e.g. Java Swing, JFC, C++ MFC

Lectures will present the basic material; tutorials will apply the material to solve a number of problems. The tutorials will involve applying the design problems to provide implementations to solve problems in given contexts. An O-O case tool may be used which has predefined patterns. These predefined patterns can be adapted to solve a particular problem. Questions based on work done in the tutorial may be set in the exam. 2 lectures and 1 tutorial per week.
