Abstract:
The course aims to introduce to the students the basic principles of digital systems design using programmable
logic. Programmable logic families, device architectures, and programming technologies are covered in detail as
well as design methodology, techniques, rules, and guidelines for implementing various digital systems with
programmable devices. The students gain practical skills to operate with integrated environments for modelling,
synthesis, simulation and configuration of digital systems.
Syllabus contents:
Programmable logic review. CPLD and FPGA. FPGA Architectures with Embedded Devices. Programming
Technologies. Design Methodology for Programmable Devices. Design Techniques, Rules, and Guidelines.
Embedded Processor-Based Design Flows. Simulation, Synthesis and Verification Design Tools. Future FPGA
Developments. FPNA.
Teaching and learning methods:
At the lectures students are familiarized with popular CPLD and FPGA families, device architectures, and
programming technologies as well as methodology and techniques for programmable logic design. During the
workshops the students use CAD systems, HDL and FPGA to design and implement various digital devises. The
assessment mark is formed on the basis of the results of two tests on the lecture material.

Abstract:
Distributed database system technology is one of the major recent developments in the field of database systems.
The Distributed Databases course aims at studying of principles and practical aspects of current distributed
database systems. Upon completion of this course the students should be able to: understand the role and
importance of distributed DB in a software project; describe issues, principles, methods and architectures
associated with distributed DB; undertake the development of a distributed database from a conceptual level,
through logical design, performance analysis, and implementation, providing appropriate query.
Course content:
Introduction into distributed data processing. Distributed DBMS architecture. Distributed database design.
Semantic data control. Query decomposition and data localization. Optimization of distributed queries. Introduction
to transaction management. Distributed DBMS reliability.
Teaching and assessment:
The lecture topics provide the main theoretic aspects of the considered problems. The workshops are conducted
in a computer lab. The students should independently solve, code and debug entirely or partially defined elements
with the aid of a corresponding programming environment. Students’ work is evaluated at each workshop. The
exam includes a number of problems with a different degree of difficulty and a point system for evaluation. The
final course mark is formed as an average of the workshop marks and the exam mark.
