This course presents an introduction to distributed systems principles and paradigms. Key principles in the distributed systems arena are presented including characterization, system models, communi-cation, remote invocation, notion of time, coordination and agreement, consistency and replication, design of distributed file systems. In addition, a case study for the design of distributed systems is explored. A practical component of the course will allow students to experiment with implementing distributed system applications.
