Aim

Software Engineering and Cloud Computing is a core course within Wallenberg Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP), whose purpose is to give a broad understanding of software engineering and cloud computing for scalable software-intensive systems.

Goals

Knowledge and Understanding

For a passing grade the doctoral student must

• explain how software-intensive systems are designed, realized, validated, verified, deployed, and maintained.
• explain key concepts and methods in agile software development
• explain key concepts and methods in continuous development and operations (DevOps)
• explain key concepts in software architecture for autonomous systems
• explain how to determine functional and non-functional system properties, using model checking, formal verification, and software instrumentation
• explain key concepts and methods in cloud computing and datacenter management

Competences and Skills

For a passing grade the doctoral student must

• set up and use an agile software development tool chain
• implement domain-specific language tools using model-based software engineering
• design, implement, and test scalable applications using a cloud stack

Judgement and Approach

For a passing grade the doctoral student must analyze the software product, process, and organization used in industrial software development

Course Contents

The course is organized in a collaboration between four universities in Sweden: KTH, Chalmers, Linköping, and Lund. The course consists of three modules: - Software Systems Engineering - Continuous Software Engineering - Cloud Computing

Course Literature

Lecture material (slides and articles) and hand-in assignments are distributed via the course homepage.

Instruction Details

Types of instruction: Lectures, seminars, exercises, project, miscellaneous. The course is organized around three two-day sessions with physical meetings, one for each course module. Each session consists of lectures, invited talks and seminars. The main content of each module is presented at a session and then examined through a project assignment. Between the sessions there will be local activities at the four main sites (Göteborg, Linköping, Lund and Stockholm). These will be mainly student driven.

Examination Details

Examination formats: Written report, written assignments, miscellaneous. The examination consists of active participation at the physical sessions, exercises, and project assignments.
Grading scale: Failed, pass
Examiner:

Admission Details

Assumed prior knowledge: The students are expected to have a background in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering or similar. The students are expected to have the foundational mathematics found in most engineering programs and basic programming skills.
