BSE 3202: Distributed Systems Development (4 CU) Course Description: At the end of the course students should be able to: Present a conceptual model of distributed systems; Describe key components of a distributed system and evaluate the Trade offs of alternative architectural models; Suggest algorithm suitable for application in distributed systems; Build prototype implementations of distributed systems; and demonstrate an understanding of the challenges faced by future distributed systems. Indicative Content; Event-driven software architectures; distributed object computing, and developing, documenting, and testing applications using object-oriented frameworks and design patterns. Techniques that enable the construction of reusable, extensible, efficient, and maintainable concurrent and distributed software systems are emphasized. Abstraction based on patterns and object-oriented techniques will be crucial throughout the course, and their application studied in several in-depth case studies. Reference Books: i. S.
