Lesson outline:

• Students create an initial component model. Components should (roughly) correspond to packages, provided interfaces should correspond to "external" interfaces from the class diagram.
• Follow the guidelines explained during the seminar, with the Presentation Layer, Bussiness Logic Layer (Service Layer + Domain Model Layer) and Resource Access Layer, as well as the Utilities Layer
• Students elaborate component models to complete a compact reasonable component system. Add missing interfaces (provided or required) as well as new meaningful components at will. The final component model will consist of at least XY interconnected components.
• [Optional: Create a deployment model, i.e. map components onto concrete HW nodes.]
• The component diagram shall be submitted as a result of this seminar.
