| MID1003 | Behavioral Modeling of Software Systems |
| Teaching Staff in Charge |
Lect. LAZAR Ioan, Ph.D., ilazar cs.ubbcluj.ro |
| Aims |
|
To introduce the student in advanced design techniques for behavioral modeling.
To present the mappings between UML behavioral metamodels and some existing lightweight frameworks. To offer the student the opportunity to participate at designing a new framework that incorporates the correspondence between UML models and concrete frameworks. To offer the student the instruments that will allow him/her to enhance the framework to other specific needs. |

| Assessment |
|
The activity ends with a written final exam (grade E). During the semester, the students will have to prepare a theoretical report (grade R) and a software project that will have to illustrate the use of behavioral models for business logic and user interfaces (grade P). The final grade is the weighted mean of the grades mentioned above. The final grade = 40%E + 20%R + 40%P.
Successful passing of the exam is conditioned by the final grade that has to be at least 5. Passing of the exam is also conditioned by grade E to be at least 5. |
