Description

Prerequisites

Undergraduate standing in Algorithms, Programming, Discrete Structures (in particular formal logic), Theory of Computing.

Distributed Computing systems aim at making the distributed nature of applications running on physically distributed computing resources transparent. Cloud computing augments this idea by providing a transparent virtualization of application services implemented as a Distributed System. This directed studies course is addressing some of the fundamental questions related to the design, implementation and use of such systems.

Teaching methods
