Design

In keeping with the spirit of the other modules we focus on the design process. What are the pitfalls? How does the work flow between the designers?

Students who want to understand how to transform an anals

	Understand how to create robust designs that are minimally impacted by defects and changing specifications and changing programming languages.
	Understand when is inheritance effective
	Transform analysis into designs
	Distinguish between good analysis and good design
	Identify languages, class libraries, operating system vendors, database vendors need to implement the user interfaces and data storage requirements
	Understand the ramifications of distributed applications
	Identify architecture
	To identify the deliverables of the design process
	To experience the design process

Analysis v. design v. implementation

Transformations

	Gen-Spec => Inheritance, Delegation
	Aggregation => Aggregation & Inheritance
	Multiplicity associations => collaboration, links & containers
	Collaboration => function calls
	Delegation => state transition classes
	Use-case diagrams => sequence diagrams

Simplification techniques

	Inheritance
	Collaboration

Low level design

Identifying subsystems

	Detailing the design
	Simulating multiple inheritance
	Optimization

Workflow

Design patterns
