CS374 Design Paradigms

Assignment Specification Assume that you are a software development architect of a global company that has over 50000 employees working in 15 countries and 50 offices. You have accepted a task that requires you to design a new cloud-based unified business contract management software system to replace the companys old business contract management system which was built based on the data management systems from three different software vendors: Oracle DB Microsoft SQL Server and SAS Business Intelligence. The main goals for this project are the following: You are required to conduct the following tasks in this particular : Template for Software Architecture Overview Document Requirements: 4+ Pages To remove the difference between the user interfaces of all three data management systems and to provide unified access to all of the required business functionality To enhance the security and reliability of the business data To improve the system availability and performance Based on the specification of the Individual Project above identify at least 5 specific functional requirements and at least 3 nonfunctional requirements of the software. Then distribute all of the requirements into at least 3 use cases and use Unified Modeling Language (UML) use case diagrams to present all of your use cases. Through the library and the Internet research for information about the software design paradigm. Select 2 different software design paradigms that can be used for this project and discuss the pros and cons of each software design paradigm. Then identify which one you will use and present the reasons for your decision. Conduct detailed high-level architecture design for the software. Specify user interfaces and associated use cases specify software components and the interactions or communications between the components and specify which component will support which use case or user interface. Document all of the results and details produced in the first three steps in a document titled “Software Architecture Overview” by following the template given below.
