CSE 490h: Distributed Systems – new course now open

Please note, this winter we are going to allow this course to count as one of the four 400-level required CSE courses for Computer Science majors and for Computer Engineering majors, as a software track course in the one of three required courses section that includes: 401, 421, 444, 466, 471, 484.

Once registration calms down, email an advisor if you want this to count in your degree audit in one of the two ways listed above and we’ll fix it for you.

New Course Annoucement, Winter Quarter 2011
CSE 490h: Distributed Systems

Distributed systems have become central to many aspects of how computers are used, from web applications to e-commerce to content distribution.  This senior-level course will cover abstractions and implementation techniques for the construction of distributed systems, including client server computing, the web, cloud computing, peer-to-peer systems, and distributed storage systems.  Topics will include remote procedure call, consistency of distributed state, fault tolerance, and security.  We will also cover several case studies of distributed systems.  A substantial programming project is involved.  A graduate version of the course will be offered to fifth year masters students.

PREREQUISITES: (CSE 351 OR CSE 378) AND (CSE 326 OR CSE 332;)
RECOMMENDED: CSE 451 
CSE Majors only
