What are architectural designs Process, explain briefly?
System structuring: -
System structuring is concerned with decomposing the system into interacting sub-systems. The system is decomposed into 

several principal sub-systems and communications between these sub-systems are identified

Control modeling:- Control modeling establishes a model of the control relationships between the different parts of the 

system.

Modular decomposition:- During this activity, the identified sub-systems are decomposed into modules. This design process is 

further elaborated in the following section where architectural views are discussed.

What is action-oriented approach for Software Design?

Answer:
In the case of action-oriented approach, data is decomposed according to functionality requirements. That is, decomposition 

revolves around function. In the OO approach, decomposition of a problem revolves around data. Action-oriented paradigm 

focuses only on the functionality of a system and typically ignores the data until it is required. Object- oriented paradigm 

focuses both on the functionality and the data at the same time. The basic difference between these two is decentralized 

control mechanism versus centralized control mechanism respectively. Decentralization gives OO the ability to handle 

essential complexity better than action-oriented approach.

Define cohesion.

Answer:
Cohesion is an internal property of a module. Cohesion describes the intra-component linkages while couple shows the inter-

component linkages. Cohesion measures the independence of a module.

What is OOP

Answer:
Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming language model organized around "objects" rather than "actions" and data 

rather than logic. Historically, a program has been viewed as a logical procedure that takes input data, processes it, and 

produces output data.

What is the difference between Aggregation and Association?

Answer:-
As compared to association, aggregation implies a tighter coupling between the two objects which are involved in this 

relationship. Therefore, one way to differentiate between aggregation and association is that if the two objects are tightly 

coupled, that is, if they cannot exist independently, it is an aggregation, and if they are usually considered as 

independent, it is an association.

Fall 2011 Latest Papers (7 Current Papers)***

*Papers Number 01***

*Define: Data , **Documentation** , Program***

*Cruise missile **scenario better fire which kind of design parameters are used for better work?***

In some software the *efficiency* is more important and desirable. For example if we talk about a cruise missile or a nuclear 

reactor controller that are droved by the software systems then performance and reliability is far more important than the 

cost-effectiveness and user-friendliness. In these cases if your software does not react within a certain amount of time
then it may result in the disaster like Chernobyl accident.

*After the analyzing you consider that the **cost and efficiency conflict **of a software then what you suggest to tackle 

this situation? Give three best ways?***

Law of diminishing returns shall be adopted.


*Write three **types of messages **in sequence diagrams: 21-lec***

Sequence diagrams can depict many different types of messages. These are: synchronous or simple, asynchronous, create, and 

destroy. The following diagram shows the notation and types of arrows used for these different message types.

Question No: 11 (Marks: 2)
*Suppose you are working as a software engineer involved in the development of an e-commerce website.** What are the 2 most 

important characteristics your software must have? *

Answer:- (Software engineering ---Page 797 )

Two most important characteristics are that software should be reliable and useable.

Then security is also concern

*Papers Number 02***

Question No: 3 ( Marks: -- )
*HOW DO YOU DETERMINE THAT AN OBJECTIVE BELONGS TO CERTAIN CLASS?** *

Answer:- (Page 85)

The basic unit of object oriented design is an object. An object can be defined as a tangible entity that exhibits some well 

defined behavior. The structure and behavior of similar objects are defined in their common class. A class specifies an 

interface and defines an implementation.


*What is the difference between Aggregation and Association?** *

Answer:- (Page 87)

As compared to association, aggregation implies a tighter coupling between the two objects which are involved in this 

relationship. Therefore, one way to differentiate between aggregation and association is that if the two objects are tightly 

coupled, that is, if they cannot exist independently, it is an aggregation, and if they are usually considered as 

independent, it is an association.



*Q2) What is meant by"**System's Static **View"?***

*Relationship Among Objects***

The object model presents a static view of the system and illustrates how different objects collaborate with one another 

through patterns of interaction. Inheritance, association and aggregation are the three inter-object relationships specified 

by the object model.

Inheritance defines a "kind of" hierarchy among classes. By inheritance, we specify generalization/specialization 

relationship among objects. In this relationship, a class (called the subclass) shares the structure and behavior defined in 

another class (called the superclass). A subclass augments or redefines the existing structure and behavior of its
superclass. By classifying objects into groups of related abstractions, we come to explicitly distinguish the common and 

distinct properties of different objects, which further help us to master their inherent complexity. Identifying the 

hierarchy within a complex system requires the discovery of patterns among many objects.

In an association relationship, when object A "uses" object B, then A may send messages to B. The relationship defines 

visibility among objects.

The aggregation relationship defines part-of structure among objects. When object A is part of the state of object B, A is 

said to be contained by B. There are some tradeoffs between aggregation and association relationships. Aggregation reduces 

the number of objects that must be visible at the level of enclosing objects and may lead to undesirable tighter coupling 

among objects.

*Differentiate between Association and Aggregation ?***

*Association and Aggregation - Some basic differences***

Objects do not exist in isolation. They rather collaborate with one another in many different ways to achieve an overall 

goal. The different types of relationships in which these objects are involved include association, aggregation, and 

inheritance. Briefly, inheritance denotes a "kind of" relationship, aggregation denotes a "part of" relationship, and 

association denotes some semantic connection among otherwise unrelated classes.

Any further elaboration on inheritance relationship is beyond the scope of this discussion and therefore we shall concentrate 

on agrregation and association relationships only.

As mentioned earlier, aggregation is the "part-whole" or "a-part-of" relationship in which objects representing the 

components of something are encapsulated within an object representing the entire assembly. In other words, the whole is 

meaningless without its parts and the part cannot exist without its container or assembly.



*What is behavior driven perceptive of an objective?** *

Answer:- (Page 85)

Behavior is how an object acts and reacts in terms of its state changes and message passing. The behavior of an object is 

completely defined by its actions. A message is some action that one object performs upon another in order to elicit a 

reaction. The operations that clients may perform upon an object are called methods.



*What is textual analysis?** *

*Object-Oriented Analysis using Abbot's Textual Analysis***

The first object-orientation technique that we will study is one of the oldest techniques to identify objects and their 

relationships. This technique is called *Textual Analysis*. It was initially developed by *Abbot * and then extended by 

*Graham and others.* In this technique different parts of speech are identified within the text of the specification and
these parts are modeled using different components.



*Q5) What is **Software Architecture** **?***

Answer:- (Page 116)

Architecture is the organizational structure of a system. Architecture can be recursively decomposed into parts that interact 

through interfaces, relationships that connect parts, and constraints for assembling parts. Parts that interact through 

interfaces include classes, components and subsystems.

What do we mean by software architecture?

Unfortunately, there is yet no single universally accepted definition. Nor is there a shortage of proposed definition 

candidates.

The term is interpreted and defined in many different ways. At the essence of all the discussion about software architecture, 

however, is a focus on reasoning about the structural issues of a system. And although architecture is sometimes used to mean 

a certain architectural style, such as client-server, and sometimes used to refer to a field of study, it is most often used 

to describe structural aspects of a particular system.

Before looking at the definitions for the software architecture, it is important to understand how a software system is 

defined. It is important because many definitions of software architecture make a reference to software systems.

*According to UML 1.3,* a system is a collection of connected units that are organized to accomplish a specific purpose. A 

system can be described by one or more models, possibly from different viewpoints. IEEE Std. 610.12-1990 defines a system as 

a collection of components organized to accomplish a specific function or set of functions.

That is, a system is defined as an organized set of connected components to accomplish the specified tasks.

Let us now look at some of the software architecture definitions from some of the most influential writers and groups in the 

field.

*UML 1.3:***

Architecture is the organizational structure of a system. An architecture can be recursively decomposed into parts that 

interact through interfaces, relationships that connect parts, and constraints for assembling parts. Parts that interact 

through interfaces include classes, components and subsystems.

*IEEE Glossary***
Architectural design: The process of defining a collection of hardware and software components and their interfaces to 

establish the framework for the development of a computer system


*Q6) What is the **Cardinality **of Objective**?***

Answer :- (Software engineering ---Page 334 )

*Cardinality.* The data model must be capable of representing the number of occurrences Objects in a given relationship. 

Tillmann [TIL93] defines the cardinality of an object/relationship pair in the following manner:

*One-to-one (l:l)*—One occurrence of [object] 'A' can relate to one and only one occurrence of [object] 'B,' and an 

occurrence of 'B' can relate to only one occurrence of 'A.'

*One-to-many (l:N)—*One occurrence of [object] 'A' can relate to one or many occurrences of [object]'B,' but an occurrence of 

'B' can relate to only one occurrence of 'A.' *For example, a mother can have many children, but a child can have only one 

mother.*

*Many-to-many (M:N)—*An occurrence of [object] 'A' can relate to one or more occurrences of 'B,' while an occurrence of 'B' 

can relate to one or more occurrences of 'A.' *For example, an uncle can have many nephews, while a nephew can have many 

uncles.*



*Abstraction and encapsulation***

Abstraction and encapsulation are complementary concepts.

*Abstraction* provides the outside view to the client and encapsulation prevents clients from seeing its inside view. For 

abstraction to work, implementation must be encapsulated.

*Encapsulation* hides the details of the implementation of an object. Intelligent encapsulation localizes design decisions 

that are likely to change. The ability to change the representation of an object without disturbing any of its clients is the 

essential benefit of encapsulation.



*Papers Number 03***

*Q1.Is the design of software architecture a iterative process? ( Marks 2)***

*Answer:* Just like any other design activity, design of software architecture is a creative and iterative process. This 

involves performing a number of activities, not necessarily in any particular order or sequence. These include system 

structuring, control modeling, and modular decomposition.



*What is textual analysis?** *

*Answer:*

*Object-Oriented Analysis using Abbot's Textual Analysis***

The first object-orientation technique that we will study is one of the oldest techniques to identify objects and their 

relationships. This technique is called *Textual Analysis*. It was initially developed by *Abbot * and then extended by 

*Graham and others.* In this technique different parts of speech are identified within the text of the specification and
these parts are modeled using different components. The following table shows this scheme.

*Q3. Think about any sales point and write the atteribute and serivses of "sale" object? ( Marks 3)** *

*Answer:*
Innovative Question , Solve it by yourself , with regard to Coad Methodology.

*Q4. If we matain **a **part of code **there is no effect **on other part .
What u say this kind of Code and wath principal is used for making this
code? ( Marks 3)** *

*Answer:***

*Q5. In which **situation **we can use **collaboration diagram **and sequence diagram**? ( Marks 5)** *

*Answer:*

*Q6. define aggregate and Narate the 2 examples of agreegate in real Life? ( Marks 5)***

*Answer:*
As mentioned earlier, aggregation is the "part-whole" or "a-part-of" relationship in which objects representing the 

components of something are encapsulated within an object representing the entire assembly. In other words, the whole is 

meaningless without its parts and the part cannot exist without its container or assembly.
