Distributed Applications SS2013 (IN 2102) University lecturer:Schlichter, J.Wörndl, W. Description: This lecture aims at introducing basic concepts which play an important role in the design and implementation of distributed applications. It discusses various architectures for distributed systems and communication mechanisms. Examples illustrating these mechanisms will be the fundamental aspects of remote invocation of procedures, methods and services (RPC, RMI, Web services), distributed transactions and group communication. On a higher level abstraction, the lecture will deal with distributed file systems, especially aspects of file allocation, file replication, concurrency control algorithms to preserve consistency of replicated information in distributed environments and the Coda file system.
