Subject specific learning outcomes and competences

The student will become familiar with concepts and principles of distributed environments, with design and implementation of applications for distributed environments and security aspects in distributed environments.

Generic learning outcomes and competences

  • Student learns terminology in the domain of DS
  • Student learns to create small projects
  • Student learns to present and defend the results of the small project

Learning objectives

The aim is to understand principles and design of applications for distributed environment, obtain overview of modern distributed environments and ability of usage application interface for various programming environments.

Why is the course taught

The course acquaints students with current technologies of distributed systems, which will enable them to participate in the development of modern applications for large data processing.
