Admission requirements
Admission requirements: Higher Education Entrance Requirement + Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or similar education. The Bachelor degree must contain a specialization in Computer Science worth the equivalent of not less than 80 ECTS credits. Application code: 9371 - Singular courses at master's level
Objective of the course
Knowledge:
- Knowledge of the classic and contemporary state of the art literature on distributed systems.
- Knowledge of design and implementation principles in modern distributed systems.
- The best way to understand the systems described in the literature is by practice, and so an important part of the course is a substantial distributed system design and implementation project.
Skills:
- Skills in participating in a technical discussion of advanced scientific papers
- Skills in systems-level programming. How to build a working prototype of a non-trivial distributed system including its architecture, design, and implementation.
- Skills in the languages, frameworks, and tools used to build a prototype distributed system
- Designing and performing performance measurements on distributed code
- Analyze the behavior of the developed prototype(s)
- Skills in presenting a system, giving a demonstration of it, and identify lessons learned.
- Identify research problems and challenges in distributed systems
- List the state-of-art tools and techniques for addressing research problems and challenges in distributed systems
General competence:
- Competence to read scientific literature, and carefully extract information from it and present it coherently in public.
- Competence in selecting a suitable set of programming languages, frameworks, and tools for a given problem domain.
- Competence in asking relevant questions about computer based systems
- Conduct technical reviews, technical writing, and technical presentations
