Learning Objectives

• SISTEMI DISTRIBUITI 1
  

  General goals described according to the expected learning results.

  1. Knowledge and understanding: the student will be able to use aspect-oriented, parallel, asyncronous, and distributed mechanisms.

  2. Applying knowledge and understanding: the student will be able to design, document, and implement aspect-oriented software systems, distribute and complex systems.

  3. Making judgements: the student will be able to analyse parallel and distributed software systems.

  4. Communication skills: the student will be able to describe distributed software systems using a proper technical language.

  5. Learning skills: the student will be able to solve typical problems, by studying, analysing and using novel distributed technologies.

• Laboratory of Distributed Systems
  

  1. Knowledge and understanding: the purpose of this course is to let the student gain advanced knowledge in order to understand the different technologies at the basis of modern distributed systems for high performances computing. The student will acquire information about the main high performances programming paradigms such as MPI, OpenMP, and Hadoop mapreduce.

  2. Applying knowledge and understanding: new skills will be granted to the student for the design of software systems for high performances distributed systems and the related concerns such as process scheduling and resources management.

  3. Making judgments: the student will be able to autonomously formulate his own solution, in facts during the course the student will be exposed to many examples of real implementations or well known design flaws.

  4. Communication skills: the student will improve his language skills and will acquire the technical terminology required to be considered a specialist on the field of distributed systems design and high performance computing.

  5. Learning skills: this course offers contents and methods to complete the student's personal and professional development along the learning curve that ends with the Master Degree in Computer Science.
