Intended learning outcomes

After the course students should be able to

• Describe technical platforms, conditions for and challenges with the development of larger, component-based software systems
• Describe component models and application platforms such as, for example, Enterprise Java Beans, OSGi, CORBA and Web Services
• Relate industrial and theoretical issues in the development of larger, component-based software systems to contemporary software development methods and techniques such as aspect-oriented programming and model-based development
• Analyze and critically evaluate a technical platform for component-based software development and relate its properties to Software Engineering research.
