Syllabus |
Introduction to Distributed Systems (DS). Characteristics of a DS.
Challenges in the implementation of a DS.
Distributed programming models: Shared memory vs. distributed memory models; Message passing models: Synchronous vs. asynchronous communication, Remote procedure calling; Creation and identification of processes.
Architectural models: Client/Server, Multiple Servers, Proxies, Peer-to-peer processes;
Fundamental models: interaction model, failure model, security.
Communication between processes: TCP and UDP sockets; Data serialization.
Client/Server communication: the request-replay protocol; semantic for failure.
Times and clocks.
Distributed objects systems: The object model; Remote object invocation; Semantic for invocation; Implementation of RMI; case-studies, RMI, CORBA.
Web programming.
