Summary

The course deals with UML (Unified Modeling Language) that represents standard in the field of object-oriented analysis and design. The OCL (Object Constaint Language) is introduced in a context of formal specification and verification of software systems. The significant part of the course is dedicated to design pattern, how they are defined and how they can be used. The subject is prerequisited by courses Introduction to Software Engineering and System Analysis and Design.
