Flashcards for 2nd CEN Exam

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
analysis   focus is on the application domain  
🗑
design   focus on the solution domain  
🗑
design window   time in which design decisions have to be made  
🗑
Identify Design Goals Additional NFRs, Trade-offs   non-functional requirements  
🗑
Subsystem Decomposition Layers vs Partitions Coherence & Coupling   Functional Model  
🗑
Identify Concurrency Identification of Parallelism (processes, threads)   Dynamic Model  
🗑
Hardware / Software Mapping Identification of NOdes, Special Purpose Systems, Buy vs Build   Object Model  
🗑
Persistent Data Management Storing Persistent Objets, Filesystem vs database   Object Model  
🗑
Global Resource Handling Access Control, ACL vs Capabilities Security   Object Model  
🗑
Software Control monolithic, event driven, concurrent processes   Functional Model  
🗑
Boundary Conditions Initialization, Termination, Failure   Non-Functional Requirements  
🗑
Design Trade offs: Functionality vs Cost vs Efficiency vs Rapid Development v Cost v Backward Compatibility vs   Functionality vs Usability Cost vs Robustness Efficiency vs Portability Rapid Development vs Functionality Cost vs Reusability Backward Compatibility vs Readability  
🗑
Subsystem   Collection of classes, associations, operations, events and constraints that are closely interrelated with each other  
🗑
Service   Set of named operations that share a common purpose. (Their origin are use cases from functional model)  
🗑
Subsystem Interface   Set of fully typed UML operations; defined during object design  
🗑
Application programmer's interface API   specification of the subsystem interface in a specific programming language. Should only be used during implementation.  
🗑
layer   subsystem that provides a service to another subsystem with the following restrictions: only depends on services from lower layers; has no knowledge of higher layers.  
🗑
partition   horizontal division of layer into several independent subsystems; weakly coupled subsystem  
🗑
virtual machine   subsystem connected to higher and lower level virtual machines by "provides services for" associations. Abstraction that provides a set of attributes and operations.  
🗑
High Coherence   classes in subsystem perform similar tasks and are related to each other via many associations (good design)  
🗑
Low coherence   lots of miscellaneous and auxiliary classes, almost no associations  
🗑
High Coupling   Changes to one subsystem will have high impact on the other subsystem  
🗑
Low coupling   A change in one subsystem does not affect any other subsystem (good design)  
🗑
Client / Server   one or more servers produce services to instances of subsystems, called clients; End users interact with client.  
🗑
Peer to Peer   "Clients can be servers and servers can be clients."  
🗑
Repository   Subsystems access and modify data from a single data structure.  
🗑
Model-view-controller   model: responsible for application domain knowledge view: responsible for displaying application domain objects to the user controller: responsible for sequence of interactions with the user and notifying views of changes in the model  
🗑
pipeline   chain of processing elements arranged so that the output of one element is the input to the next element  
🗑
system design   activity that reduces the gap between the problem and an existing (virtual) machine  
🗑
design goals   describes the importnat system qualities defines the values against which options are evaluated  
🗑
subsystem decomposition   break down the overall system into manageable parts by using the principles of cohesion and coherence  
🗑
architectural style   pattern of a typical subsystem decomposition  
🗑
software architecture   instance of an architectural style  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
