    LEARNING AND TEACHING METHODS

    The subject will be delivered through a combination of lectures and workshops. Students will also complete the architectural design, implementation, and evaluation of a system with features commonly found in large-scale distributed enterprise systems, which will reinforce the material covered in lectures.

     

    INDICATIVE KEY LEARNING RESOURCES

    A book of notes will be made available at the University of Melbourne bookshop at the start of the semester. The two key additional resources for the subject are:

    1. Fowler, Martin. Patterns of enterprise application architecture. Addison-Wesley Professional, 2003.
    2. Hohpe, Gregor, and Bobby Woolf. Enterprise integration patterns: Designing, building, and deploying messaging solutions. Addison-Wesley Professional, 2004.

     

    CAREERS / INDUSTRY LINKS

    Large-scale enterprise systems are present in almost every modern business. The ability to engineer and integrate such systems is a skill that has ever-increasing demand, and requires different techniques and principles than “programming in the large”.

    There will be two lectures from industry-based lecturers who will describe their approaches to architectural design of large-scale distributed enterprise systems.
