System Integration

Overall Course Objectives

The objective of the course is to provide the participants with theoretical foundations and tool-supported methodologies to understand, model, analyze, and design complex heterogeneous systems assembled from different components.

See course description in Danish

explain a complex software system using models
identify and model the requirements of a complex software system
model a complex software system and its components
design the integration of components
explain the relation between requirements, components and their integration
discuss the appropriateness of models to explain a given problem
operate modelling tools and explain the overall workings of such tools
identify situations where the covered techniques apply

This course covers model-based techniques for integrating the components of a complex software system. The course will focus on how to model different views of a complex system made of multiple components, and how to integrate multiple perspectives of software components (e.g., functional aspects, data aspects, non-functional aspects…). The techniques covered will include requirements engineering techniques (e.g., requirement specifications), component-based modelling techniques, and integration techniques (e.g., collaboration, choreographies, etc.).
