Web Resources:

Office Hours: Instructor & TAs

Content:

1. The Syllabus describes topics to be covered, reading material for you to digest before coming to class, and due dates for the assigned projects.
2. Project #4, Project #5
   Anirudhha Gore's Final Project, Summer 07

3. Helpers for Project #4

   "chalk talk" about communication structure

   ADAM-Wrapper-Prototype (Lectures #7 and #8)
   All message handlers, e.g., virtually all parts, inherit from AWrapper, except for UIs that already inherit implementation from Form. UIs need to create a message handler that does inherit from AWrapper.

   DLL Loading - implicit and explicit (Lecture #7)
   How the Executives attach to the parts they manage.

   Message Framing Socket Receiver (Lecture #5)
   Communication component receivers need to do this.

   Base64Encoding (Lecture #5)
   Any component that wants to send, possibly binary, files needs to do this.

   .Net Process Creation (Lecture #6)
   Shows how to wrap a legacy EXE.

   Safe Thread Synchronization, Jeffrey Richter
   

4. Queuing Analysis Notes
   
5. Organizing Principles for Project #5 - a "chalk talk".
6. Performance analysis for Project #5 - some more "chalk talk".
7. Some timed executions:
   • File transfers using a Web Service
     
   • Test execution in Test Harness
     
   • Building code
     
8. Loading analysis for Queued Systems
   
9. Generating Random Events
   
10. Software Architecture Taxonomy
    
11. Message-Passing Systems via Remoting
    
12. Peer-to-Peer Prototype
    Illustrates use of bilateral remoting with SingleCall activation to establish Peer-To-Peer communication.
13. Message-passing communications web service
    
14. Configuring downloaded web services for your system
    
15. Interception Presentation
    
16. Lecture #11 folder contains a page of links to presentations and code discussed in this class. The Lecture folders will occasionally hold physical files of interest as well. Usually, however, all the materials of interest to the class are in the presentations and code folders. The contents of these folders will grow as you progress through the course.
