Course Level: | Bachelor’s Degree (First Cycle) |
Mode of Delivery: | Face to face |
Course Coordinator : | Dr. Öğr. Üyesi TARKAN AYDIN |
Recommended Optional Program Components: | None |
Course Objectives: | Communication paradigms: client/server protocols, remote procedure call (e.g., Java RMI), multicast protocols handling asynchronous communication and failures. Distributed transaction management requires enhanced concurrency control methods. Comparing algorithms proposed by researchers and commercial solutions. Replicating data to increase fault-tolerance and the performance of databases. |
