| Master: |
Grid Computing | |
| Lecturers: |
dr. M.L. Cristea, mw. dr. P. Grosso, prof.dr.ir. C.T.A.M. de Laat (coördinator), prof.dr. R.J. Meijer en drs. R.J. Strijkers | |
| Objectives: |
The course will allow students to understand advanced networking concepts and the technologies that implement them. These recent developments in the field allow tuning network behaviour to extreme demands or situations. The student will be able to use these concepts in the laboratory hours, where we will deal with bandwidth consuming distributed applications and sensor networks. | |
| Contents: |
This
course teaches contemporary and advanced concepts for distributed
computing and data communications. Extreme applications such as
interplanetary telecommunications, globally distributed server farms
and massive sensor networks require new networking approaches. The
course covers optical networks, wireless sensor networks as well as
related IETF developments in advanced networking. It explains the
notion of network programming, where information technologies and data
communications are integrated, and presents inspiring advanced use
cases that illustrate this approach. The course introduces systems theory, physics and computer programming concepts, which can be used to specify the dynamic behavior of individual network elements or their collective behavior. The associated lab will give the students an opportunity to experiment with the presented concepts. Students will learn how to tune the performance and behavior of distributed computing applications. They will also gain hands-on experience with programmable sensor networks. |
