Course Objectives:
Distributed Systems form a significant field in Information Technology. The course aims
to provide solid foundation in the concepts of distributed systems along with its design
and implementation. Synchronization, Message Passing, Remote Communication,
Consistency Management and Application development using different Distributed
Technologies form part of core concepts to be studied under this course.
Course Outcomes:

The student gains clear understanding of fundamental principles of Distributed Systems along with design and
implementation of key mechanisms, Clock Synchronization, Election Algorithms, Mutual Exclusion, Message
Communication, Process and Resource

Scheduling etc.
The student understands the message communication, remote

procedure call and Remote method

invocation (RPC and RMI) along with group communication.

Emphasis is on developing

applications using current distributed computing technologies like

EJB, CORBA and .NET.

Student

should be able to develop/design distributed system/applications for an enterprise using SOA
