Admission information

Objectives

1. Understand the principles and challenges that determine the development of distributed systems and applications 2. Understand and experiment with basic programming abstractions for building distributed systems and applications 3. Understand and experiment with higher-level abstractions for building distributed systems and applications 4. Learn about common middleware abstractions and patterns

Description

A. Distributed applications 1. Overview, origin, characterization, examples 2. Programming abstractions for building distributed applications B. Middleware systems 1. Roots, origins, historic development, principles 2. Role of standards, standardization processes 3. Reference models (e.g., OMA, RMODP, etc.) 4. Interoperability, system integration, multi-tiered systems 5. Patterns (e.g., request/reply, naming, directory, messaging, pub/sub) 6. Middleware paradigms (e.g., DOO, components, SOA, EDA etc.) 7. Objects, components, services 8. Service-orientation, service interfaces, RESTful services 9. Examples & case studies (e.g., DCE, CORBA, RMI, J2EE, Web Services, SCA)

Prerequisites
