[SkillPort] In this course we introduce Information System Architectures, Software Design patterns (Singleton, MVC, Facade pattern …) and Distributed frameworks using Java EE (EJB, JPA, …) and CORBA. It comprises a group of technologies that enable components for all tiers of an enterprise application to be developed.
This course provides an introduction to Information System Architectures, including software architecture functions, JavaBeans, Enterprise JavaBeans, JPA and EclipseLink framework, CORBA, RMI API, SOA, Web Services Architectures and Cloud Architectures.

Goals

After completing this course, students will be able to:

• Describe Information System concepts and architecture considerations.
• Select an appropriate design for an entreprise application.
• Design and implement an Entreprise Application.
• Identify how to use CORBA objects in a given scenario.
• Identify how to use Software Design patterns and Distributed frameworks in a given scenario.
• Identify how to use Design pattern.
• Implement Data persistence using JPA and EclipseLink.
• Determine when to use the different types of Enterprise JavaBeans.
• Design and implement an Entreprise Application using SOA and Web services.
• Describe a Cloud Architectures.
