Content | Many applications are more and more facing large volumes of data which need to be managed, accessed, and processed in an efficient way. 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. |
