Abstract

In the short time span available in a software architecture course, it is difficult to find a software system that is both interesting from an architectural perspective and so small that it does not overwhelm the students.We present TS-05 which is a bare 150 line Java "toy-system" that never-the-less exhibits architectural complexity and challenges that emphasize the usefulness of architectural concepts, primarily views, quality attributes and connectors.
