CST402 syllabus
The purpose of this course is to understand the system models, algorithms and protocols that allow computers to communicate and coordinate their actions to solve a problem. This course helps the learner to understand the distributed computation model and various concepts like global state, termination detection, mutual exclusion, deadlock detection, shared memory, failure recovery, consensus, file system. It helps the learners to develop solutions to problems in distributed computing environment.
Prerequisite: Basic knowledge in data structures and operating systems.
