CS 4500 Assignment #3.
Assigned: Friday, 18 January 2013
Due: Friday, 25 January 2013

For the second assignment, you proposed preliminary
external specifications for the semester project.  For
this assignment, you will outline a software architecture
that could satisfy the external specifications you proposed
in assignment 2.  Your outline will take the form of a
memo addressed to your technical manager.  (Note that
this is a change from assignments 1 and 2, whose memos
were addressed to a client of your software.)

Write a short memo, no longer than five pages, outlining
your proposed software architecture for the software you
will write as your team's semester project.  This memo
should include high-level descriptions of the software's
inputs, outputs, algorithms, and data structures.

The quality of your writing will be graded as it was in
assignments 1 and 2.  Some technical managers, including
your instructor, take a dim view of memos that contain
errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, or the like,
and are more impressed by well-written memos in
straightforward plain text than by fancy presentations
of sloppy writing.

Submit your memo in paper form at the beginning of class
on Friday, 25 January 2013.  Remember to identify yourself
in your memo.  You may also include the email address you'd
like for the instructor to use when corresponding with you.

Late assignments may be discounted, and very late assignments
are likely to be discarded without credit.
