CPSC 539W: Web Services Architecture

Calendar Link
Instructor:	Eric Wohlstadter
	wohlstad@cs.ubc.ca
	604-822-0409
Time:	TR 3:30-5:00
Location:	ICICS 238
Topics Covered:	Web Service Composition: Service integration, workflow scheduling, service-level description and enforcement. Web Application Security: Safe execution of mobile code in the browser, application server vulnerabilities. Publish/Subscribe Middleware: Content-based routing, subscription languages, event-stream processing. Aspect-Oriented Programming: Separation of non-functional concerns, dynamic software adaptation, runtime monitoring, tradeoffs of syntactic separation.

Most class sessions will be focused around the presentation and discussion of one or two relevant research papers. Students are required to read papers and submit a paper review for one paper per class. Each paper will be presented by a student or the instructor in a slide presentation. Each student will present one or two papers over the term. After each presentation we will discuss the paper. Throughout the term students are required to complete a research project by implementing or extending a middleware and/or AOP software tool. Students will be provided project suggestions but are also free to choose their own direction.
