Anotation:
The course is focused on technologies that support distributed computing: on mechanisms ensuring reliable, efficient and secure connection of application processes, programming interfaces of communication channels and up-to-date middleware technologies. A significant part of lectures is dedicated to distributed algorithms that assure causality, exclusive access, deadlock detection/avoidance, fault-tolerance, mobile computing, and security.
Study targets:
After passing the course, students will have an overview in the field of distributed systems. They will be aware of the limitations and advantages related to the deployment of such systems. They will also be able to design and implement a simple distributed system.
Course outlines:
| 1. | | Distributed computation, graph algorithms (Dijkstra), synchronous and asynchronous model |
| 2. | | Communication system - protocols, routing |
| 3. | | Synchronous and asynchronous message passing, multicasting |
| 4. | | Models of distributed computing - client-server, peer-to-peer, publish-subscribe, cloud computing |
| 5. | | Support for distributed applications - Java RMI, JMS, Jini; SOAP, REST |
| 6. | | Time in distributed systems - physical clock synchronization, scalar and vector logical clocks |
| 7. | | Sharing of resources, distributed algorithms of mutual exclusion |
| 8. | | Leader election algorithms |
| 9. | | Termination detection, deadlock - detection and avoidance |
| 10. | | Replication of data and processes, ensuring consistency |
| 11. | | Large scale distributed systems: Architecture and computations (DHT, CDN, ...) |
| 12. | | Mobility in distributed systems - load balancing, mobile agents, cooperative ad-hoc systems |
| 13. | | Security in distributed systems - Kerberos, PKI, PGP |
| 14. | | Decentralized database - blockchain |
