Distributed Systems: Principles and Paradigms
The last four lectures will primarily be based on content from the textbook "Distributed Systems: Principles and Paradigms", by Andrew S. Tanenbaum and Maarten Van Steen. We will cover roughly the same content as in last year's course. As such, you may benefit from having a look at the following topics:
  • Introduction (Ch. 1)
  • Architectures (Ch 2 - 2.2)
  • Processes and communication (Ch 3 - 3.4.2, 4 - 4.3, 11 - 11.3.1)
  • Synchronization, replication, and consistency (Ch 6 - 6.3, 6.5 - 6.5.3, 7.4, 7.5.2-7.6)
  • Object-based and Web-based systems (Ch 10 - 10.7, 12 - 12.7)
Note that we may not cover all the above material in class.
