Description

This subject will provide students with the basic skills to design and implement distributed applications. The course aims at providing fundamental insights as well as technical skills related to building multi-tier distributed systems consisting of web servers, application servers, database servers: remote calls (RMI), web applications, advanced database connectivity (jdbc), data constraints study and their management in DBMS/applications.

By the end of the course, students should be able to build RMI-based Java distributed systems, simple Web applications, multi-tier distributed systems, and transaction-based distributed system with DB systems.
