SYLLABUS

Object-Oriented Design Patterns

Tuiesdays-Thursdays 4:30- 7:10 p.m.

West Building, Room 263

CS 631 Object-Oriented Design Patterns (3:3:0). Principles of object-oriented design through design patterns. A study of the selection of appropriate object-oriented structure after the system requirements or requirements specification of the software system have been developed. Design patterns are created in the logic view of the software system. A study of generalized design solutions for generalized software design problems. A study of the reuse of design patterns. Once developed, design patterns may be specified in any object-oriented language.

Introduction to Design Patterns: Principles and Examples

Design Patterns in Designing Computer Systems

Programming Design Patterns in UML and Java

Advanced Topics in Design Patterns.

Behavioral Design Patterns

Observer Design Pattern,

Structural Design Patterns

Proxy Design Pattern

Facade Design Pattern

Composite Design Pattern

Coding of design patterns in UML (Rational Rose), including static design structure as CLASS DIAGRAM, and dynamic design structure as SEQUENCE DIAGRAM.

Storing each coded design pattern in its own, separate EXPORTED PTL file package for later reuse.

Automatic IMPORT of each one of the above PTL packaged design patterns into its best designed position in the sequence of actor, interface, boundary, control and entity classes.
