This course is focused on enabling students to understand and apply these new software engineering approaches. Its learning objectives are to enable students to understand the principles underlying Model-Based Architecting and Software Engineering (MBASE); to master the use of tools supporting the new approaches; and to apply the tools and principles on real-client team projects. MBASE involves the integration of a software system or product line's success models, product models, process models, and property models.

This year's projects involve the determination and architecting of high-value digital library capabilities for USC's Library System. In CSCI 577a, the student team members will formulate operational concepts, requirements specifications, architectures, prototypes, life cycle plans, and integrating rationale for the proposed capabilities. In CSCI 577b, we plan to have student teams develop Initial Operational Capability products based on the best results from CSCI 577a.
