These issues are programming vs. software engineering, structured vs. object-oriented methods, textbook selection and assessment of project work. Underlying these issues is the question of how industrial experience can be taught or simulated in software engineering courses. The aim of this paper is to share our experiences hoping to stimulate further discussion on how software engineering can best be taught.","PeriodicalId":416862,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1996 International Conference Software Engineering: Education and Practice","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126344358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It assists user interface designers to specify the static form and dynamic behaviour of graphical user interfaces (GUI) using a Petri net based model. We describe extensions made to increase the modelling power of PUIST and to make it more practical. Hierarchical specifications have been introduced to PUIST which make modular design, specification reuse and top down design possible. Two special types of arc and one special type of transition have also been introduced to PUIST to extend the range of the dynamic behaviours PUIST can specify. In particular the dynamic behaviours of a menu can now be precisely specified.","PeriodicalId":416862,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1996 International Conference Software Engineering: Education and Practice","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125472310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
