COIT23005 Distributed Systems Development

Course details

This course aims to teach both the principles and practice of distributed systems, but with an emphasis on the practical side. Theory will focus on architectural, communication, synchronisation issues (e.g. client/server and peer to peer architectures, message-oriented communication, naming, threads, RPC, web services). The issues involved in the provision of reliable and secure distributed systems will also be addressed, as will the social impact arising from the ubiquity of distributed systems. Practice will involve consolidation of the key theoretical material through the development of software applications.
