INF-8320 Middleware - 10 ECTS
Admission requirements
- For internal PhD students (that is, PhD students in science at Faculty of Science and Technology at UiT) it is sufficient to register at the first lecture.- All external students have to apply through the form at the bottom of this page: About the PhD program at the UiT
The form should be sent to Lisbeth Klausen in the faculty administration.
The student has to attach a confirmation that he/she is a PhD student at their home institution.

External students also have to pay semester fee and attach the receipt for this. The fee has to be paid for the semester the exam will be taken.
Objectives of the course
Knowledge; students should get:
- extensive knowledge of middleware
- comprehensive knowledge on support for multimedia, mobility and ubiquitous computing in middleware
- in-depth knowledge on selected recent and current middleware research projects on support for multimedia, mobility and ubiquitous computing
- in-depth knowledge on selected recent and current middleware research projects on support for adaption
Skills; students should be able to:
- design, analyze, and implement distributed applications and services using middleware supporting distributed objects, software components, web-services and similar
- design, analyze, and implement distributed applications and services that need support for multimedia, mobility and ubiquitous computing
- discuss, in great details, how it is possible to support multimedia, mobility and ubiquitous computing in different settings and environments
- analyze the limitations and potential problems in a suggested setup supporting multimedia, mobility and/or ubiquitous computing
- discuss, in great details, what role adaption has in supporting multimedia, mobility, ubiquitous computing, and other complex applications
General competence; students should know:
- what kind of programming abstractions and support is needed from the middleware platform for a given type of distributed applications
- how multimedia, mobility and ubiquitous computing influence the design and implementation of a middleware platform
- the role of adaption in middleware supporting multimedia, mobility and ubiquitous computing
- how to implement support for adaption in a middleware platform
Assessment
Oral exam counting 100%. Approved assignments give access to the final oral exam.Course requirements: The coursework includes up to 3 written assignments graded "Approved" / "Not approved". Oral presentation of the assignments and demonstration of a working system can be claimed. Students will be opponents for each others presentations. Mandatory participation in the seminars.
Assessment scale: Letter grades A-F.
