15-180(A): Research Topics in Software Architecture

aka the Software Architecture Reading Group (SARG)

David Garlan and Mary Shaw, proprietors


Description

This course examines recent research results in software architecture, including topics such as notations for software architecture, formal specification of architectures, domain-specific software architectures, and tools for architectural design. This semester we will examine the breadth of software architecture research and look at how the research results are reaching practice. We will be concerned with information structures as well as program structures.

The theme this semester is architectural models

The seminar is open to anyone interested in software architecture. The seminar can be taken for credit (1/2 core unit in CS PhD program or 6 CMU units).

Schedule

We meet from 12:00-1:30 in Wean Hall 8220. Lunch is provided. The original plan was to meet on mostly-alternate weeks starting January 22. However, we were unable to meet Jan 22, so we rescheduled a little. As a result, we always meet on Mondays, but we do not meet precisely on alternate weeks
