SE2 (ECE452/SE464/CS446/CS646): Software Design and Architecture Fall 2006

Prof Ric Holt, Department of Computer Science, Waterloo University

Assignment 4: Presentation of Implemented System

BACKGROUND

This assignment is a follow-on from Assignment 1, in which the goal was to design a Software Architecture for the information processing layer of the Voip system; Assignment 2, in which the goal was to produce a corresponding Detailed Design; and Assignment 3 in which the system was implemented.

GOAL

You are to present your implemented system. This will include demo'ing the key features of your system. The audience should learn what you have done and not done, and what is your overall architectural structure. The target audience is managers and programmers.

YOUR PRESENTATION

Your presentation should be clear, short and informative.

You should use slides (such as Power Point Slides) and as well you should show your system in operation. You are to turn in your slides (hardcopy and softcopy). There is no separate report for this assignment.

The amount of time you have to present is expected to be 20 minutes, but this may be somewhat changed, for example to 15 or to 25 minutes. Take care that your presentation will fit in the allowed time, as you should expect to be cut off if you attempt to run over the allocated time.

Make sure you get across your main points and you don't get lost in details.

Do not try to show too many slides. A rule of thumb is that each slide takes 1 to 3 minutes.

You are responsible for making sure that all audio/visual equipment is working for your presentation.

All members of the team should actively participate in the presentation.

SLIDES

Your slides should include the following:

Title slide: Title of about 3 to 6 words, with names of team.

Overview slide: Give clear overview of entire presentation.

Body of presentation: Give slides for each major point you want to make.

Conclusion slide: List essential points and what you accomplished in the project.
