Abstract:<br />

The objective of the Reliability and Diagnostics of Computer Systems course is to familiarise the students with the<br />

main methods of raising the reliability of computer systems, with different types of codes and their use to discover<br />

and correct errors, with types of faults and methods for generating control and diagnostic tests of combination and<br />

serial circuits.<br />

The course is linked with the following courses: Analysis and Synthesis of Logic Circuits, Computer Organization,<br />

Software Engineering, Computer Peripherals, Computer Architectures, etc.<br />

Course content:<br />

Theory of reliability - main concepts, indicators, computing the reliability. Methods for raising the reliability of<br />

computer systems and technologies. Optimal reliability. Coding theory. Codes - types, theory, hardware<br />

implementation. Hardware reliability. Software reliability. Diagnostics – fault models. Testing and diagnostics of<br />

combination and serial circuits. Methods and tools for testing computer systems.<br />

Teaching and assessment:<br />

The lectures familiarise the students with the theoretic aspects of the main questions of reliability and diagnostics.<br />

The practical sessions give the opportunity to explore software methods for control and to familiarise the students<br />

with different programs for testing personal computers. The course ends with an exam. During the semester<br />

continuous assessment is carried out too. If the students work systematically and achieve good results, they can<br />

be exempt from the exam.<br />

3086 Specializing practice – II<br />

<strong>ECTS</strong> credits: 4<br />

Weekly classes: 4 weeks, 120 hours P<br />

Assessment: colloquium<br />

Type of exam: written and oral<br />

Abstract:<br />

The purpose of the discipline “Specializing Practice – II” is to help the students from the specialty “Computer<br />

Sciences and Technologies” assimilate the knowledge and skills gained by the time of the practice. Gaining new<br />

specific skills within the environment of a real working factory or organization, which is working in the sphere of<br />

designing, integrating, manufacturing, running and/or support of the latest computer and office equipment,<br />

networks, and informational systems. It takes place in the sixth semester, right after the summer exams.<br />

Course content:<br />

Introduction with the production activity of the company or the organization. Standardized regulation of the system,<br />

exploitation, working safety measurements, fire safety and pollution safety. Inside order of the company or the<br />

organization. Architecture of the computer systems. Application support. Peripherals and their management.<br />

Future upgrade and extending of the computer configurations. Support and maintainance of the computer<br />

systems. Operating systems. File organization of data. Running test of the applications installed. Evaluating the<br />

applications' quality. Systems for managing data bases. Characteristics and parameters of the peripherals.<br />

Computer networks. Architectural special features of the network. Technical means of the network. Network<br />

operating system. Methods of access.<br />

Teaching and assessment:<br />

The practice takes place in the time specified according to the study schedule. The classes are in well organized<br />

and modernly equipped companies, working in the sphere of electronic manufacturing, developing and support of<br />

computer and office equipment. The duration of the specializing practice is 20 working days, 6 hours a day, which<br />

means 120 hours. The lectures and the practice are in continuous order. In each working place the students are<br />

being instructed with the safety requirements and the specific tasks for the classes. Each student gets a personal<br />

practical task. The discipline ends with a colloquium.<br />
