Students should check the subject’s web site regularly as important information, including details of unavoidable changes in assessment requirements will be posted from time to time. Any information posted to the web site is deemed to have been notified to all students.
This subject explores advanced 'pattern-oriented' approaches to the design and development of eBusiness solutions. The 'Patterns for eBusiness' initiative provides a conceptual framework that can be exploited at all stages in the eBusiness software lifecycle. In particular, this conceptual framework and vocabulary bridges the communications gap between business analysts and systems developers seeking to devise integrated solutions for eBusiness.
On successful completion of this subject, students should be able to:
1. describe how a pattern-oriented approach (specifically 'Patterns for eBusiness') supports the design of integrated solutions for eBusiness. This pattern-oriented design approach spans the entire eBusiness solution space from eBusiness problems through to eBusiness technology choices.
2. analyse eBusiness problems in terms of patterns for eBusiness;
3. choose and adapt the appropriate application patterns and integration patterns to support the business patterns;
4. map the application patterns onto an adaptable software application framework;
5. experiment with technologies and products that implement the software application framework.

Assignments are to be submitted through UOW e-Learning. Penalties may apply to all late work, unless special consideration or an extension has been granted by your subject coordinator. You will be penalised at the rate of 10% of the original, maximum score for each working day overdue. Requests for extensions or special consideration should be lodged through SOLS. Documentation (e.g., medical certificates) to support special consideration requests should be lodged with administration, so that the subject coordinator may have background consider the requests.
Students must also retain their own copies of all material that they have posted to the UOW e-Learning site (e.g., for tutorial presentations) and may be required to repost that material to the UOW e-Learning site at any time during the course.
Scaling
Final results in this subject may be scaled. The scaling method that will be used in this subject is as follows.
If E is the student exam mark, and A is the student assignment mark, the student final mark will be determined as follows:
if E >= 40% of the maximum exam mark: then student final mark is E + A;
if 35% <= E < 40% of the maximum exam mark: then student final mark is /min/{E+A, 47};
Students must refer to the Faculty Handbook or online references which contains a range of policies on educational issues and student matters.
Please note that if this is your last session and you are granted a supplementary exam, be aware that your results will not be processed in time to meet the graduation deadline.
