CMPS 279 - Winter 2003 – Software Reuse and Component-Based Software Engineering

Syllabus/Course Outline

The quarter will be divided into roughly 3 parts. See also http://www.soe.ucsc.edu/~griss/teaching/cmps279.html  

1. In the first part, lectures and reading from the text book will be used to provide a conceptual framework for understanding and analysis of the issues,  tradeoffs and success factors associated with large-scale reuse.
2. In the second part, selected topics and case studies will be discussed in depth, using the conceptual framework, chapters from the text book, and supplementary materials. Students will select and report on chosen or assigned topics.
3. In the final part, students will work in small teams to research, analyze, design and report on a reuse enhancing toolset, a set of reusable components or key process issue.
