• ObjectivosObjectives

  Provide a comprehensive approach to the algorithms, protocols and fundamentals of modern distributed systems. Characterize and discuss the advantages, problems and challenges that arise in the development of distributed systems.  At the end of the curricular unit students should be able to: Use communication mechanisms and interaction of distributed objects and services, identifying similarities and differences related to object-oriented programming mechanisms in a centralized environment. Connect knowledge on fundamental techniques for the design of distributed applications in the business environment and for the Internet. Apply the knowledge acquired in autonomous learning and competence and apply this knowledge in practice

• MetodologiaMethodology

  The teaching methodology consists of presenting and discussing topics and, whenever possible, introducing existing technologies through practical examples of applications that demonstrate the concepts involved. At the end of each topic, challenging exercises are proposed for students to find solutions, thereby consolidating their learning.
