Version No: Course Prerequisites: Objectives:

1.0 Operating System

1. To cover distributed computing architecture, networked clusters of computers, utilization and management of the expensive remote resources 2. To present the principles underlying the functioning of concurrent and distributed systems. 3. To create an awareness of the technical challenges in concurrent and distributed systems, design and implementation. Expected Outcome: 1. Acquire a sound knowledge and understand the construction of concurrent and distributed systems. 2. Model, construct and analyze basic concurrent and distributed systems. 3. Adapt analytical approach to the construction of software. Unit No: I.
