This course introduces the concepts and design of distributed systems. 1. Foundations: characteristics of distributed systems, architectural models, fundamental models, interprocess communication. 2. Middleware: remote method invocation, remote procedure call, name services, CORBA. 3. System Infrastructure: distributed file systems, peer-to-peer systems. 4. Distributed Algorithms: clock synchronization, logical and vector clocks, distributed mutual exclusion, election algorithms, consensus algorithms, replication and fault tolerance.
