SFWR ENG 3KO4 / 3MO4
Software Development For Computer / Electrical Engineering
Fall 2007 Lab 3 - (Week of Oct 1)

• Due date
  • Because of long-weekend, the due date is changed from "Tuesday October 9 at 1:00pm" to "Monday October 15 at 4:00pm"; this is the same date as your Lab 4 due date, therfore, only your enhanced and final SDS will be required + extra deliverables for Lab 4. Submit your completed SDS document in your lab drop-in box. Note: see below for new deliverables during Lab 4.
    
• Goals
  • To practice on generating "Architectural Design Specification" of a software system based on a complete "Software Requirement Specification (SRS)".
    
• Instructions
  • A full description of the lab 3 instructions and marking scheme have been provided. Click HERE to obtain the PDF file of the instructions.
    
• Details
  • In each lab section of this week the TA(s) will present a detailed description of the Requirement Specification of the whole ABM system for all groups in the labs and the students will take note of those. Then the students will design the architecture of the ABM system using the components and their corresponding interactions. The resulting diagram is called Component Diagram and represents the services that each component provides to other components through their interfaces. The interactions among the components are modeled by Statechart diagrams that specify the sequence of service invocations triggered through external or internal inputs.
    
• Example and Tutorial
  • An example of SDS document for a Thermostat System has been provided for you as a guide. Click HERE to get the PDF file.
  • Toturial on Ratioanl Rose , an UML Toolkit. Click HERE

  
  

• IEEE Citation Guideline
  • Get the IEEE Citation Style Guide HERE and follow the rules for referencing a resource in your SDS document.
• Deliverables
  Hard copy of the Software Design Specification (SDS) document prepared according to the modified version of the IEEE SDS template.
  

  New Deliverables: Submit your ABM's "component diagram" & "statecharts" during Lab 4 session (%10 of Lab 4 marks).
