Course Description |
Nowadays, distributed system, particularly the Web and other Internet-based applications and services, are of unprecedented interest and importance. The course aims to convey insight into, and knowledge of, the principles and practice underlying the design of distributed systems, both Internet-based and otherwise.
The distributed system technologies that the course tries to cover include: interprocess communication, remote invocation, distributed naming, cryptographic security, distributed file systems, data replication, distributed transaction mechanisms, middleware, distributed multimedia, distributed timing and coordination mechanism. We hope, the students can obtain sufficient knowledge from the course, that would enable them to evaluate existing systems or design new ones. |
