Distributed Operating Systems

The aim of the course is to expose students to current research and technological issues in the areas of distributed systems algorithms, fault-tolerance, and QoS & performance. Many distributed applications (such as Clouds, E-Commerce, and Datacenters) rely heavily on protecting the critical data and computations that may be distributed across different sites and geographic regions. Here, a 'seemingly' correct but actually faulty network subsystem-level failures on the rise (both benign and malicious), the course contents can help understand the 'computer science' issues underlying the design of correctly functioning networked systems (e.g., how a distributed system of computational elements achieves its goals despite the absence of a physically shared memory).
