Purpose of class
The aim of this course is to understand the technologies required to design, build, and operate autonomous and distributed networks and systems, and to acquire the skills necessary to apply these technologies.
Course content
Distributed systems formed over networks serve as the technological foundation for realizing cloud services that can be accessed anytime and anywhere. This course focuses on such networks and distributed systems, covering their construction technologies, underlying mechanisms, and applications.
Goals and objectives
  1. Students will be able to understand and explain the technologies required to construct networks in an autonomous and distributed manner.
  2. Students will be able to understand and explain the fundamental technologies required to realize distributed systems.
  3. Students will be able to understand and explain the mechanisms of network-based distributed systems used in various environments.
