BSE 4201: Software Design Patterns (4 CU) Course Description: Design patterns are standard solutions to common software design problems. Instead of focusing on how individual components work, design patterns are a systematic approach that focus and describe abstract systems of interaction between classes, objects, and communication flow. This course explores advanced principles of object-oriented design by studying key software design patterns. The patterns are drawn from a variety of sources and illustrated through examples and case studies. Examples are presented in Java, C++ or C sharp. Students will also have an opportunity to apply these patterns through a series of hands-on exercises. Indicative Content: Basic Patterns: Structural patterns Creational patterns; Behavioral Grasp and Cooper, Vlissides Pattern Hatching; Relationships between Patterns: Pree’sMetapatterns Zimmers Relations. Tichys classification, Classification in; Automation of Patterns: Automation of Design Patterns Together, OpenJava and Design Patterns, Compost/Recoder Refactoring Copliens Symmetries; Historic Roots: The timeless way of building; Advanced Patterns: Parallelism Patterns Exclusion, State Dependence, PLOP2, Coordination; Reactive patterns Analysis Patterns Re engineering Patterns Automation of Design Patterns; Process Patterns Organizational Patterns; Applications of Design Patterns: Extreme Programming Cope: Multi-Paradigm Design Reference Books: i.
