Learning outcomes
|
The primary aim of the course is to introduce the students to the area of distributed algorithms. The students meet the principles contained in the large-scale distributed systems, messaging systems and the basics of inter-procedural communication.
Theoretical overview of distributed computing and the ability to apply theoretical knowledge to real problems.
