Assignment Brief and assessment criteria (these will be discussed within a formally timetabled class)

1. Assignment Brief: Analysing and Building a Banking System Software Using Component and Service Oriented Cloud Architecture

The aims are to design a new software architecture for a banking application and to demonstrate the benefits of service oriented approaches. This should involve the following:

1.Critical analysis of the various architectural styles and recommendations regarding their suitability for the above problem.

2.The evaluation of the benefits of software architectures and their corresponding programming paradigms, particularly object and service orientation, in terms of software quality factors such reusability, maintenance, extendibility.

3.The production of a high level analysis and design of the chosen architecture style and the migration steps.

4.The identification of a strategy for migrating to a Cloud based service architecture and technologies, which should include a critical discussion showing the benefits and drawbacks of the new strategy/architecture.
