Anotace
The course is focused on technologies that support distributed computing: on mechanisms ensuring reliable, efficient and secure connection of application processes, programming interfaces of communication channels and up-to-date middleware technologies. A significant part of lectures is dedicated to distributed algorithms that assure causality, exclusive access, deadlock detection/avoidance, fault-tolerance, mobile computing, and security.
Cíle studia
After passing the course, students will have an overview in the field of distributed systems. They will be aware of the limitations and advantages related to the deployment of such systems. They will also be able to design and implement a simple distributed system.
