Basic information

Language of instruction:	English
Type of course:	Non-Departmental Elective
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.
