This course introduces students to the fundamental concepts and practical aspects of Client-Server Architecture and Distributed Systems. It begins with the basic principles of distributed computing, including client-server models, communication mechanisms, resource sharing, and the evolution of distributed applications.
The course explores essential communication technologies used in distributed environments, including Remote Procedure Calls (RPC), Java Socket Programming, TCP/UDP communication, and IP Multicast. Students learn how to design and implement distributed applications using multithreading and synchronization techniques.
The course also covers advanced distributed technologies such as Java RMI, CORBA, and Web Services (SOAP, WSDL, UDDI). Students study enterprise distributed platforms, distributed file systems, client-server database architectures, load balancing, and security mechanisms for distributed applications.
Through theoretical explanations and practical examples, this course provides students with the knowledge required to analyze, design, and develop reliable and scalable client-server applications in modern distributed environments.
To follow this course effectively, students are expected to have prior knowledge in the following areas:
- Computer Networks: understanding of TCP/IP protocols, network communication, IP addressing, and basic client-server concepts.
- Object-Oriented Programming: basic knowledge of Java programming, classes, objects, inheritance, and exception handling.
- Operating Systems: understanding of processes, threads, synchronization, and inter-process communication mechanisms.
- Distributed Systems Fundamentals: basic concepts related to communication between distributed components and resource sharing.
- Software Development Basics: ability to compile, execute, debug, and test Java-based applications.
