Course Contents
This course studies the key principles of distributed systems, which can be summarized as the functioning of autonomous computers connected to the internet network as a single system. The topics covered in the course can be summarized as communication protocols, process and threads, naming, synchronization, consistency and replication, fault tolerance, and network security. The course also examines some specific real world distributed system implementations. Distributed filing system can be given as an example. Topics from the textbook and selected research articles will also be discussed in the course.
