An Introduction to Software Architecture (David Garlan and Mary Shaw)

cew source and example scripts
http://malun1.mala.bc.ca/~pwalsh/teaching/365/pex1/IntSet.tar

With reference to the above links:
Read the paper on cew. Follow the instructions in section 6 to get
your version of cew and IntSet.


Your task is as follows:

1. Modify the system such that one or more cew test cases can exist
on a line within the source script.

2. Modify the system such that code-bloat is reduced.  Bonus marks will
be awarded to the team that reduces code-bloat the most and still
passes the regression tests (provided that it is close to the reduction
achieved by the instructor's solution). 

Note, your solution will be run on two large scripts. I will provide
you with one of the large scripts next week. Your code-bloat reduction
will be average of the two reductions.

3. Provide documents detailing cew's software architecture (see the
link above to the Garlan and Shaw paper).

Deliverables:

1. Your software architecture document(s):
In class, submit a typed hard-copy of your document set.
Make sure you at least address the following (both in terms
of the existing cew system and the new modified cew system):

   ABC Model
   Business Plan
   Schedule/Timelines
   Risk
   Functional Specification
   Module/Component Guide
   Data Flow/Control Flow Diagram
   Uses Structure
   Verification Strategy
   Design Rationale
   Quality Attributes/Scenarios

2. Your system:
Submit your modified system electronically. With IntSet.cew in the
current directory, issue the following commands:

   tar cvf IntSet.tar IntSet.cew
   /usr/users/faculty/csci365/bin/submit IntSet.tar 

   Note, the submit infastructure has not been set up yet.
   When it is, I will notify you through the BB.

Make sure the names of the team members are on all the deliverables.

This exercise is to be completed by each team.  Submit only one
implementation; if you send more than one, we will discard all but the
last one.  Your exercise solution must be received before the due date
and time.  All other methods of submission will not be accepted.  You
will receive no credit for a programming exercise submission that fails
to adhere to this convention.

Since this is a team exercise, the instructor reserves the right to
question team members on the material contained in exercise
deliverables.
