| Aims |
|
To introduce the student in advanced design techniques used to develop application frameworks.
To present some existing lightweight frameworks as a novel approach for building enterprise applications. To offer the student the opportunity to participate at designing a new framework during didactical activities. To offer the student the instruments that will allow him/her to develop other small lightweight framework for different classes of applications. |

| Assessment |
|
The activity ends with a written final exam (grade E). During the semester, the students will have to prepare a theoretical report (grade R) and a software project that will have to illustrate the use of behavioral models for business logic and user interfaces (grade P). The final grade is the weighted mean of the grades mentioned above. The final grade = 40%E + 20%R + 40%P.
Successful passing of the exam is conditioned by the final grade that has to be at least 5. Passing of the exam is also conditioned by grade E to be at least 5. |
