Objective

The student will understand the challenges introduced by concurrency in system design and implementation understand the difference in functionality, design, and implementation of centralized and distributed systems understand the layered model of communication and the role of different layers know most important models that are used as base of design for distributed systems (structural, interaction, fault, and security models) be able to design and implement a simple concurrent and distrubuted system be able to coordinate the communication of concurrent threads and access to shared resources using chosen programming platform
