A study of the principles used in the design, implementation, and evaluation of distributed systems. Participating in hands-on activities that often require teamwork, students investigate topics such as remote communication, process synchronization, and fault tolerance while creating and assessing components of a distributed system. During a weekly laboratory session students use advanced distributed programming environments to complete projects, reporting on their results through both written reports and oral presentations.
