Course description

Software systems are often composed of a heterogeneous network of inter-related systems. In this course you will build upon the knowledge and skills you have developed so far to learn how to design complex systems. This will include how these systems communicate and coordinate their responsibilities. You will learn design techniques to manage the complexity of large systems. You will learn how to assess and manage software risks (e.g.security, scalability, availability, resilience, robustness). You will apply these techniques to build a system composed of heterogeneous computing devices (e.g. mobile devices, servers, cloud-hosted services). You will learn how to apply systems thinking to design large-scale cyber-physical systems.
