Architectural Design Patterns

The course Architectural Design Patterns discusses the importance and principles of architectural modeling and the application of Architectural Design Patterns.

Intro Architectural Design

The course starts with a review of the basic principles of software architecture, software design patterns and the terminology used.

Architectural Patterns

Subsequently attention is paid to the role of design patterns in the architecture of software systems. The main categories of architectural patterns are discussed.

Call and Return Patterns

For example Call and Return Patterns such as the Layers pattern and the Client Server pattern are covered. The pros and cons are discussed.

Data Flow Patterns

Data Flow patterns are treated as well. Examples are the Pipes pattern as used in the Linux operating system and the Filter pattern that is known from the Java Servlet implementation. Shared Memory patterns such as the Blackboard pattern are also on the program of the course.

Distributed Systems Patterns

Distributed systems patterns such as the Proxy and Broker pattern are also discussed. Practical implementations of each pattern are reviewed and the pros and cons are explained.

Concurrency Patterns

Finally advanced patterns about concurrency and threads are covered and a number of patterns that do not belong to a particular category are treated. Participants will practice with the patterns and discuss the application of the patterns to practical problems in software architecture.

Audience Course Architectural Design Patterns

The course Architectural Design Patterns is aimed at experienced developers and software architects who want to apply design patterns for the architecture of systems.

Prerequisites Course Architectural Design Patterns

Knowledge of an object-oriented programming language like C++, C# or Java and experience with object oriented analysis and design with UML is desired.

Realization Training Architectural Design Patterns

The course Architectural Design Patterns has a hands-on character. The theory is covered on the basis of presentation slides and is illustrated with demos of architectural patterns. There are exercises in design problems where architectural patterns can be applied.

Certificate Architectural Design Patterns

Attendants receive a certificate of participation in the course Architectural Design Patterns after successful completion of the course.
