Objectives

The evolution of software systems towards Web Computing involves a variety of complex techniques and tools, from object-oriented programming, to component-based programming, to Web Service programming. A deep understanding of these techniques and their capabilities is required in order to fully exploit their potential.

The objectives of this course are:

to provide the students with a deep understanding of how high level programming concepts and metaphors map into executable systems and which are their costs and limitations
to acquaint the students with modern principles, techniques, and best practices of advanced software construction
to introduce the students to techniques of programming at higher abstraction levels, in particular generative programming, component programming and web computing
to present state-of-the-art frameworks incorporating these techniques.

This course will provide a deep understanding of modern software technologies, so that the students will be able to evaluate the effects of each design choice through all levels of a software architecture, in terms of performance, reliability, adaptability and integrability into larger systems.

The course is a required course for the Laurea Magistrale in Informatica, and contributes to prepare professionals for the role of software architect.
