On the last day of my class presentations, we went over SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture). Although I showed many SOA approaches, we discussed one in particular, REST. REST is by far the most common and popular SOA approach. Using what we covered in this course, speculate on why REST is so successful.
Your boss asks you to report which parts of this course are the most applicable to your work. Pick at least four course topics, summarize them, and explain how they apply to your work.
The challenge of any process, particularly Software Engineering, is to support the evolution of products and services. The general conclusion of Lehman’s Laws is that software must evolve, but it is difficult to change an organization and its corresponding process.
This course has discussed a variety of artifacts, methods that use those artifacts, and processes that incorporate them. Consider a company with an existing software development process. Discuss some possible solutions and approaches for improving this process, both creating a better software product and getting changes to clients faster.

We need to decide what your Research Paper is about. There are multiple types:
Each of these leads to a 10 page research paper in IEEE Conference Format. Ten pages means almost full papers with the last page mostly filled.
The results of the research paper are presented at the end of the semester.
Before class on Tuesday, Mar 16, please send me your topic ideas. I prefer that you have more than one.
Also, you will need a GitHub account for this paper.
The Midterm Exam is on Tuesday, Mar 9. If I did not discuss it in class, then it is not on the Midterm. Specifically, the test will cover:
Overall Guidelines
We will be covering Program Slicing in class.
This below will make more sense when I explain it:
Will start to discuss:
