- Course objectives
- The main goal of this lecture is to give insight to principles of new
generation of Internet protocols at one side and to show how originally
network services are becoming part of higher, application oriented layers. Networks are presented as a basic construction bricks of (large)
distributed systems. These form the focus of the next part of the
lecture, where their function, design and implementation is discussed.
Brief introduction into mobile computing closes the lecture.
Graduate will understand network protocols and will have an overview on their usability for particular application.
Graduate will have basic orientation in the area of web and grid services, will be able to implement simple services.
Graduate will understand basics of distributed computing and the underlying network protocols, will be able to desing a simple distributed system in a specified environment.
Graduate will know IPv6 protocol properties and will be able to design and implement IPv6 network.
Graduate will understand work with time in the networked environment. - Syllabus
