Course Information
Teaching methodology including the use of eLearning tools
Students will be given several homework assignments (exercises) that will be prepared and discussed in class before and after submission. Additionally, a larger programming project should be done by groups of 2-3 students over several weeks. Exercises should be prepared individually (no group work). All course material will be available online in Moodle. Submissions will also be handled by Moodle. However, personal attendance in class is required.Course content
The topics taught in the Distributed Systems lecture are applied to various small exercises, either on paper or by implementation. Additionally, a larger project implementing a sample distributed system is conducted.Topics
- Java RMI
- Synchronization
- Peer-to-peer systems
- Cloud computing
- Distributed file systems and CDNs
- Reliable communications
- Distributed shared memory
- Consistency models
Teaching objective
Students should improve their understanding of important concepts of distributed systems by applying them to concrete exercises. Moreover, they should be enabled to build a limited distributed system using their theoretical knowledge.Prior knowledge expected
Students are required to have good Java programming skills and basic knowledge of computer networks and operating systems at an introductory course level. Ideally, students should be familiar with Java network programming at the socket level. Attendance of the Distributed Systems *lecture* (VO) is strongly recommended.Other materials
Will be available in Moodle.Literature
