Objectives

The course main objectives include:
- providing knowledge and practice acquisition of fundamental concepts in designing and architecting distributed applications;
- main distributed pattern and technology use, appropriate for scenario requirements and functionalities;
- detailed knowledge of several technologies, for fluent implementation of distributed business applications, knowing their interoperability and integration capabilities.

Learning outcomes and competences

At the end of the semester, students presented with a  process description should be capable of:
  - developing an appropriate distributed system architecture
  - choosing the most appropriate technologies, considering the presented scenario
  - implementing and explore services and applications using the presented technologies
  - integrating available services and applications, even with disparate technologies

Working method

Eligibility for exams

Students have to do and present the assignments to be admitted to the final, which is also mandatory.

Calculation formula of final grade

Lab = 0.3 * Intermediate Presentation + 0.7 * Final Evaluation
Final Mark = 0.45 * Lab + 0.45 * Examination + 0.1 * Continuous Evaluation

Examinations or Special Assignments

All students have to do the laboratory assignments.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

The same as for ordinary students.
The Lab assignments are mandatory.

Classification improvement

The Final component can be improved in the corresponding season.
The Lab assignments can only be improved in a new course instance.
