The course is designed primarily to bring synergy and interplay among the following core components of the Computer Science Curriculum::

• Object Oriented Technology (OOT) for better programming methodologies and code reuse,
• Programming Language Design and Implementation (PLDI) for better understanding of language semantics,
• Virtual Execution Environment (VEE) for an insight of bytecode loading, linking and verification , and
• Software Engineering (SE) for safe, trusted and reusable systems.
