Welcome to COMP3110 and COMP6311 for 2011

This course is intended to provide software developers with practical information concerning requirements analysis and design techniques that have been found to enhance software development practice.

This will be achieved by exploring a range of past, contemporary and emerging software/systems analysis and design techniques. We will consider relationships between such techniques and how they have, and can be, assembled to form effective software development methodologies.

• explain the role and importance of modelling in software analysis and design
• select appropriate modelling languages for a given purpose
• demonstrate the practical application of several modeling languages
• describe concepts involved in model translation
• demonstrate the translation of a simple model to form software
• explain and analyse emerging model-driven development techniques

Timetable

The COMP3110 and COMP6311 Timetable shows lecture and tutorial times, as well as their locations.

You might also find the Principal Academic Dates for 2011 useful. They include the start and end dates for each teaching period of 2010.

Course Organisation

Each week we will meet for a single 2 hour lecture (in JD101) and a separate (mandatory) 2 hour workshop.

During each lecture we will discuss a specific topic and then during each workshop, we will conduct a small group exercise to practice some of the ideas discussed.

Take a look at the proposed schedule to see what we are likely to cover during the course.
