Course objectives

The students will acquire the knowledge of the main service composition techniques, such as orchestration and choreography, and of some widely used development environments available for them. Furthermore, they will learn the main background notions about the development of service transactions (being a 1st edition of the course, this last objective is tentative).

​

Course content

• Service composition and business processes;
  
• Service orchestration;
  
• Service choreography;
  
• WS-BPEL: Web service business process execution language;
  
• BPMN2 Choreography Diagrams and its constructs and semantics;
  
• The CHOReVOLUTION Studio: a development environment to support automated development of service choreographies;
  
• Service transactions, Distributed transactions, and the WS-Coordination model (tentative).
  

​

Prerequisites

The students must have well acquired the topics of the course "Service-Oriented Software Engineering (SoSE)" (Dr. Marco Autili).

​

Learning outcomes

On successful completion of this course, the student should:

• have knowledge about (i) service composition techniques, (ii) orchestration with WS-BPEL;(iii) choreography design and development with BPMN2 Choreography Diagrams; (iv) CHOReVOLUTION Studio: an Eclipse-based development environment for choreographies; and (v) service transactions (this last point is tentative);

• be capable of: (i) understanding and representing orchestration and choreographies; (ii) analyzing and implementing service compositions; (iii) using the CHOReVOLUTION Studio development environment; and (iv) analysing and implementing service transactions (this last point is tentative);

• acquire skills to deal with the engineering of real world distributed service-based systems;

• explain and illustrate the fundamental notions studied in this course;

• demonstrate ability in engineering concrete service compositions;

• acquiring competencies and abilities useful in SOA practical contexts.

  • Part V, only: Service composition and transactions (Chapters 9 and 10).​ Since the topics related to "Service transactions" are tentative, if the course won't cover this part, then the students will avoid to study Chapter 10.

English Literature --- master degree

Rewriting the Victorian novel in postcolonial times

Course objectives
This course aims at making the tools offered by cultural and postcolonial studies operative in a diachronic perspective, by focusing on the literary canon and its persistence as authoritative discourse in contemporary writing in English. Instead of focusing exclusively on contemporary works, students will be required to confront the traditional notion of ‘literary text’ and assess whether and how it has been confirmed and/or dismantled by postcolonial appropriations. Coursework will focus on novels from the Victorian period and their respective rewritings (in writing as well as on screen) by authors from the expanding postcolonial canon to explore the role of renarration in consolidating, renovating, and/or contesting literary traditions.

Content

Since Gayatri C.  Spivak’s “Three Women's Texts and a Critique of Imperialism” (1985) and Edward Said’s Culture and Imperialism (1993), the notion of rewriting has become central to postcolonial literary theory; and while this approach has been criticized for its failure to debunk the cultural authority of the mother country, English literary ‘masterpieces’ remain a privileged source of material for contemporary productions intending to expose the central role of the Empire in received notions of British identity both at home and abroad.
Starting from arguably the first rewriting to tackle the issue of what Stuart Hall has called the “work” of the colonial moment in literature, Jean Rhys’s Wide Sargasso Sea, students will research and analyze some Victorian novels and their postcolonial adaptations, in order to develop an analysis of the use of source material and its interaction with contemporary elements. The students will thus perfect the instruments of literary theory and criticism while at the same time articulate an original reading of the work chosen for their final presentation. The final presentation will include both a short essay and an oral presentation and discussion with the class and teacher.
