15-180(A): Research Topics in Software Architecture 
aka the Software Architecture Reading Group (SARG)
David Garlan and Mary Shaw, proprietors
Description
This course  examines recent research results in software architecture, 
including topics such as notations for software architecture, formal 
specification of architectures, domain-specific software architectures, and 
tools for architectural design. This semester we will examine the breadth of 
software architecture research and look at how the research results are 
reaching practice.  We will be concerned with information structures as 
well as program structures.  
The theme this semester is architectural models 
The seminar is open to anyone interested in software architecture. The
seminar can be taken for credit (1/2 core unit in CS PhD program or 6
CMU units).

material, send e-mail to Compose with "SARG" in the subject line. 
Schedule
We meet from 12:00-1:30 in Wean Hall 8220.  Lunch is provided.
The original plan was to meet on mostly-alternate weeks starting 
January 22.  However, we were unable to meet Jan 22, so we rescheduled
a little.  As a result, we always meet on Mondays, but we do not
meet precisely on alternate weeks
