Prerequisites | You sucessfully completed the following Bachelor courses or have at your command the corresponding skills: Basics of Programming, Programming Project, Web Data Management, peferrably also Databases. |
Objectives | The goal of this course is to understand the basic problems of distributed information systems, to become familiar with the different architecture paradigms, and to practically experiment with some selected systems. |
Contents | Many applications are more and more facing large volumes of data which need to be managed, accessed, and processed in an efficient way. Examples can be found in eHealth, banking and insurance, eScience, digital libraries, etc. From the data management point of view, this has led to a radical shift from centralized, monolithic database systems towards distributed information systems. For these systems, it is of utmost importance i.) to have sophisticated mechanisms and protocols for coordinating and accessing distributed resources (e.g., distributed databases) and ii.) to be based on appropriate infrastructures which support distributed applications. The goal of this course is to understand the basic problems of distributed information systems, to become familiar with the different architecture paradigms, and to practically experiment with some selected systems. The course includes lectures, mandatory practical exercises with some of the systems and infrastructures that are discussed, and a small project. |
