  6. SE Fundamentals Self and Peer Assessment • How well has each person contributed to the group? • Evaluated over the entire semester • Assessed on process, not product • Work out a grade for each person (CR, DI etc) • Then convert this to a mark out of 20 • Submit list of marks to tutor with justifications • Repeat previous step until the tutor is satisfied • See guidelines in Blackboard material

  7. Intro to IT What is IT?

  8. Intro to IT Future of IT • RMIT School of CS & IT • Four main research areas • Distributed Systems and Networking • Software Engineering • Information Storage, Analysis and Retrieval • Intelligent Systems

  9. Intro to IT Software Engineering • Building and verifying component-based systems • Human Informatics Modelling • Educational Technologies • ENID: Electronic Health System • Grid and cloud architecture and platforms

  10. Intro to IT Software Engineering • Architecture-based processes, methods and tools • Improving quality, trustworthiness productivity and industrial practice • Leveraging mathematical methods and foundations • Concurrent or parallel systems, or systems involving massive data

  11. Intro to IT Software Engineering

  12. Summer Projects Distributed robotic sorting (Ian Peake) - Lego Mindstorm + Lejos NXJ (Embedded JVM) Enhanced spring graph layout (Amir Aryani) - extend MS nodeXL - applications e.g. in software maintenance The Sensor and Actuator Hub (with Flora Salim, SIAL) - for e.g. bioclimatic skin (airflow/shading) / responsive media facade - web services interface aggregating sensor data - evaluate Arduino vs MICA platforms and tools Service Composition Architecture (Nick May) - behaviour model editing in Eclipse (SCA tools project extension)
