FDA149/TDDC54 Software Engineering (2008)


Graduate course, 3p, VT 2008 January / February 2008

CUGS core course, National Graduate School in Computer Science (CUGS)
Mandatory course for CUGS doctoral students in computer science (course code FDA149)and for computer science master students in the CUGS International master programme (course code TDDC54).
This course is not open for undergraduate students other than those enrolled in the former international master program in computer science ("CUGS master"). Undergraduate students are kindly referred to our equivalent undergraduate courses Software engineering theory and Component-based software.

Goals: The course gives a broad overview of the theory of software engineering and treats selected topics in more depth.

Prerequisites: Data structures and algorithms; Programming in an object-oriented language (Java or C++)

FAQ: Counting of old credits for this course?
In short, FDA149 = PUM-teori (TDDC01/TDDC62) + Component-based software (TDDC18).
If you already have passed PUM-teori, you could thus skip the FDA149 exam questions about that part (hand in, along with your exam, a copy of your Ladok utdrag that contains your grade in PUM-teori). The component-based software part of the FDA149 exam must be passed. The final grade will then be weighted 50:50 with your PUM exam grade.

Organization and dates

Ca. 24 hours of lectures (4 full days)

The course is given in an intensive format ("crash course") at a conference facility (Hotel Scandic Väst, Ryd in Linköping).
The exam will be in Linköping, room John von Neumann, friday 15/2 at 14:00-18:00.
For questions about local arrangements, accommodation etc., please contact the CUGS secretary, Anne Moe.
