Recommended for

PhD students with fundamental knowledge in logic, discrete mathematics and computer algorithms corresponding to the core courses in CUGS graduate school.

The course was last given

New CUGS course.

Goals

The course will give an overview of distributed systems and a deeper knowledge about solutions to problems that appear in distributed computations in presence of failures.

Prerequisites

Undergraduate course in distributed systems recommended.

Organization

Lectures, self study sessions, and invited seminars.

Contents
