Learning Outcomes
Student knows how to present the main characteristics of distributed systems, as well as the related problems and the most common solutions. Student can implement small-scale distributed systems and can learn more about the subject from the literature.
Content
| Content | Core content | Complementary knowledge | Specialist knowledge |
| 1. | Understanding the difference between a distributed and "traditional" system. | Identifying characteristics of distributed systems. | Ability to estimate if a system takes distributed system characteristic into account in a reasonable way. |
| 2. | Knowing the basic structures (e.g. client-server) and knowing the existing middleware frameworks. | Ability to estimate framework suitability for different applications. | Ability to determine requirements of a software project from the distribution point of view. |
| 3. | Ability to implement a simple distributed software laboratory work with socket and RMI interfaces. | Knowing the good and bad parts as well as risk areas of the covered interfaces. | Ability to use the covered interfaced efficiently with the rest of the software. |
| 4. | Understanding the problems that will arise if atomicity and timing issues are not handled in a distributed application. | Knowing the existing libraries and algorithmic solutions for the problems of distribution. | Understanding the mathematical principles behind validity of algorithms solving the problems of distribution. |
