| 授業の概要 ／Course outline |
In modern complex applications reusability and interoperability of software components are of vital importance due to the increasing heterogeneous development platforms and variety of end user devices in which computational services need to be exposed. This led to the development of Design Patterns, which are means to encapsulate proven solutions to recurrent problems and they provide developers with a common language to abstract the logic encrypted under source code implementation structures. In this course we focus on the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern that is very effective for human-centered software design. Students will study and work with the original Virtual- MVC design pattern that is an integration of MVC-design pattern and Service-Oriented Architecture. Our main contribution is to demonstrate the development process of re-usable components in the frame- work of the V-MVC pattern, through a development platform that supports Virtual-MVC based applications. |
| 授業の目的と到達目標 ／Objectives and attainment goals |
There are the following three scenarios of implementation of this Software Arena Project: 1. The concrete application can be assigned or selected together with the coach. After this, the team will make the application design based on Virtual-MVC decomposition and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). 2. Student/s can bring their own application that may be developed by other technologies. In this case, they can adopt this system to the SOA field. Accordingly, the comparison can be implemented of both variants. After finishing this course, student will have practical knowledge and experience in designing the SOA software, be able to formulate requirements and testing the software against these requirements. During the project, each of students will play and change his/her roles covering management activities, programming, testing and report writing. They will also evaluate and obtain the experience for both the user's and developer's perspective. |

| 授業の概要 ／Course outline |
Legacy information systems are typically the backbone of organizations and their failure can be crucial to their businesses. Legacy information systems can cause various problems since, for example, they usually run on obsolete hardware that is slow and expensive to manage, the software is developed using obsolete technologies that make integration with new systems and tracking of faults difficult, documentation and resources for maintenance are lacking. Several solutions have been proposed to these problems, such as, redevelopment, wrapping, and migration. However, given a concrete legacy information system, it is not always possible to rely solely on one solution. In every legacy information system problem, first an intensive study to find the most appropriate approach must be performed. Since this area of software engineering is relatively new, the numbers of practical experience reports of a comprehensive migration approaches are limited and sound methodologies do not exist. |
| 授業の目的と到達目標 ／Objectives and attainment goals |
The aim of this project is to devise a comprehensive methodology for renovating a legacy system. An actual, mission critical legacy information system currently used in a relatively large organization will be considered. An intensive study to find the most appropriate approach for solving the organization's problem will be performed as well as research of existing knowledge in literature. A proposal of the methodology backed by analysis of risks and impact on business will be the output of this project. |

| 授業の概要 ／Course outline |
The quality of software development is a problem that all companies in the industry are facing and is considered a social issue by economic magazines and journals. The Japanese ministry of economics, trade, and industry has made efforts to formulate development processes standards and IT skill standards to introduce an industry standard for software development. Although these standard methods are helping to improve the situation, still practical project management skills are required to successfully run a project. |
| 授業の目的と到達目標 ／Objectives and attainment goals |
In this curriculum, 1. Each student will experience all steps of a typical software development project, from requirements definition to final operational test. During the development, methodologies on how to fulfill requirements under strict restrictions, such as budget and time restraints should be established. Each process will be followed by a check review. 2. An application system to support core-business operations that will actually be used in a software company will be developed. Details of the system will be decided together with the students based on a partially predefined requirements specification. The system to be developed will be a problem solving or strategic investment type, such as a business support system that encourages reuse of software components. 3. Students will experience both the user's and developer's perspective of the development process through roll playing simulations with fellow students and coaches. |

The role of the Internet as a tool to get knowledge and valuable information on different topics has been increased drastically over the past years. Studying and working with tools to access the information and knowledge on the web are the important part of software engineering education. Search engines allow users to retrieve information from the Web using keywords and phrases. Many words and phrases have multiple meaning. This is a big problem for search engines. Search engines provide the users with small snippets of texts taken from the retrieved documents. Users usually cannot evaluate the relevancy of a document using this information. One promising way to improve the quality of retrieval is to design summarizing methods and applications for Web-browsers which can run on client computers or on servers of Internet service providers. They will create automatically informative summaries for retrieved documents, and then present them to the end user. The aim is to reduce the amount of information to analyze manually. We propose the National Institute of Informatics, Tokyo, Japan and Saint Petersburg State University, Russia as project supporters. NII is a world leading organization in Information Access technologies applied to Asia languages. This institute is our partner in research related to information retrieval. Saint Petersburg State University is a famous university with excellent education traditions in mathematics, programming and software engineering. This university is our partner in the project on text mining. Both institutions can provide support via consultations by key researcher and practitioners, round table discussions, etc. These communications can be done via the Internet using modern communication technologies. NII can provide their data collections they use in NTCIR Workshops which are major scientific forums for researchers in the information retrieval area. |
| 授業の目的と到達目標 ／Objectives and attainment goals |
The goal is to create a prototype of the system helping scientists to search on the Internet for scientific information. The application software should run on mobile devices according to the following scenario: The application takes the user query, submits it to the search engine, gets its response, downloads top 10 documents, creates informative summaries, and presents results to the end user. The aim is to get the necessary knowledge in designing the architecture of software systems. |
| 授業スケジュール ／Class schedule |
a. Literature Study. Aim is to become familiar with the area of research and software development for mobile devices and to get the analytical skills necessary for any researcher and software development: This application area is very dynamic. b. Investigating software market. Aim is to find appropriate software components applicable to the area of research and to test new technologies designed for mobile devices. c. Implementing the classical summarizing methods and test them utilizing data collections created by NII. Aim is to see the base level of the quality of summaries produced automatically. d. Designing advanced methods on the base the latest results published in the journals and annual conferences such as TREC, NTCIR Workshop, SIGIR, WWW, etc. Aim is to design software components on the base proposed ideas. e. Conducting a set of tests to compare the quality of summaries designed applying classical and proposed methods. The aim is to select the most powerful method producing the best results. f. Designing the architecture of the application software running according to the aforementioned scenario. g. Programming the prototype of the system (creating code).
