Description
Distributed systems and applications are commonplace today. For example, Internet companies employ distributed systems to support the services they offer to worldwide customers (e.g., search, email, social applications, etc.). Other companies employ or operate distributed applications more to support their primary business needs (e.g., credit card processing, mobile communication, data storage, etc.). In this course, we study principles and building blocks essential for anyone involved in developing and operating distributed systems and applications. In particular, we study different classes of failures and how to build systems resilient to faults.
Prerequisites
Data structures and algorithms, operating systems, computer network basics, databases.
