Aim:
The aim of the course is to provide theoretical knowledge, understanding, and practical skills regarding modern distributed systems and the related techniques, algorithms and tools. After completing the course, the students should be able to:
Identify the essential difficulties and specific problems in designing and implementing a complex distributed system.
Understand the theoretical aspects at the heart of distributed systems
and relate them to the problematic of distributed applications.
Analyze the requirements of the system and find solutions for various
problems, based on a solid theoretical understanding of the area.
Compare alternative solutions with regard to various parameters and relate to the actual distributed application and its requirements.
Understand the specific features of certain distributed applications, such as real-time or fault-tolerant systems, and master the adequate solutions.
Design a distributed application and implement it using the CORBA environment.
