II. PREREQUISITE:

CSPP523 Object Oriented Architecture, Design, and Method, or consent of the instructor.  Knowledge of basic Java language programming will be assumed.  Students who don't know Java will be expected to come up to speed with the language with immediate dispatch.
 

III. COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course gives hands-on experience in the entire life-cycle of Object Oriented design, development, and deployment.  Students will work together as a group or development team, periodically taking on individual roles of architect, analyst, designer, coder, and tester.  The team will take a large(ish) OO project through the entire development life-cycle, from conception through implementation and deployment.

The process used will be RUP as modified by eXtreme programming concepts, and iterations will be defined with student input as the course proceeds.  The course will begin with requirements analysis and will proceed through the creation of a design model through to coding, testing, and deployment.  Coordinating activities such as project management as well as source code management (using CVS) will be employed by the students as well.

The application to be designed and developed during the course will be at once confined in scope so as to allow for efficient design and development over 10 weeks, but will be substantial enough as to tax the design and development team in delivering the application within the given time frame.  Each student will be involved in requirements gathering, analysis, design, coding, testing, project planning, and source code management.

All development will be done on Linux using Sun's J2EE and JDK 1.2.2, and database access will be conducted via JDBC with a Sybase backend.  The design tool used will be TogetherSoft's TogetherJ designer product.  The method will be RUP, but concentration will be given to eXtreme Programming concepts, especially team coding.
 

IV. LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Specific deliverables students are responsible for will include:

Requirements Document
Domain Glossary
Architecture Document
Use Case Model and supporting artifacts
Analysis Model
An  OO Framework that provides core services such as system configuration, management, logging, and monitoring
Design (Conceptual) Model utilizing Patterns
Source Code for the application's implementation
Code Review
Automated Unit Testing
concluding with a functioning application as a final deliverable.

Technologies that students will be exposed to during the course include:

J2EE technologies, including JDBC
Distributed Object programming issues using RMI over JRMP/IIOP

Conceptual issues such as reliability, failover, redundancy, and resource management will be introduced, as well as the application of autopoietic theory to component architectures for failover management.
 

V. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

Students are expected to have read and understood the University's policy on Academic Integrity. This policy is detailed in the Student Manual of University Policies and Regulations, available online at http://www.uchicago.edu/student/manual/academic_honesty.html.
 

VI. METHOD OF INSTRUCTION

Methods include lecture and lab.
 

VII. OTHER COURSE INFORMATION

Attendance:

No formal attendance taken. There may be information presented in class that is not in the texts. You will be responsible for all information discussed in class and assigned in the required readings.

Make-up Work:

If you miss a review, you will need to speak with the instructor ASAP.

Students are expected to read the assigned texts before class in order to be able to full participate in the discussions.
 

VIII. METHOD OF EVALUATING STUDENT PROGRESS

Assigned work evaluated as follows:

1 Mid-Term  Individual Review of Work:                      20 pts
1 Mid-Term Reading Quiz                                                  10 pts
1 Final Individual Review of Work:                                   20 pts
1 Final Reading Quiz                                                              10 pts
Joint Course Project Deliverable:                                     40 pts (this portion of the grade is singular based on the class's work as a whole)
Total:                                                                                       100 pts

Grading scale: A=90-100, B=80-89, C=70-79, D=60-69, F=0-59
 

The course project will be due the final day of class, March 14, 2001.   Note that there will be no class that day, just the deadline for projects and individual interviews and the final reading quiz.

The instructor reserves the right to alter the course contents, dates, times or percentage of credit based on time allowed and class progress through the course material. The instructor also reserves the right to curve grades if he deems it in the best interest of the majority of students.
