Contents
Computer and communication networks, as well as the web, have developed into an efficient work tool, a universal information source and a nearly ubiquitous communication medium in the past two decades. They are an indispensable part of our everyday lives. They are formed by the union of different systems that communicate with each other over networks, thus enabling information sharing among themselves. Data exchange and forwarding are performed by applying appropriate approaches and algorithms, which are called protocols. This module deepens the knowledge about the basic approaches, concepts and principles of such distributed systems. Furthermore, Internet and World Wide Web technologies will be at the heart of considerations. One further focal point is the introduction to the development of Web Services and Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA). The module provides insight into different approaches of distributed systems and an in-depth look at the central aspects of the design of distributed systems.
Qualification Objectives
- Improved knowledge of approaches, methods, principles and tools in the field of distributed systems and web engineering.
- Ability to design, implement and manage complex distributed applications.
