• Comprehension of various technology requirements used in distributed systems
• Mapping of distributed systems concepts to their technological implementations
• Various current tiers/layer technologies
• Extraction of adequate technologies for varying requirements
• Applying of corresponding technologies in complex projects

client-server, n-tier systems, component-technologies (e.g., EJB), object-related mappings, presentation-layer technologies (web framework), integration technologies (EAI, web services), aspect-oriented middleware, message oriented middleware

The course consists of a lecture, providing the required theoretical information, and a lab with several programming assignments for an in-depth understanding of the course topics. Furthermore, lab practice lessons will be held for presentation and discussion of the assignments. Moreover, these practice lessons serve to align implementation and the corresponding theory (which is mainly the content of the lecture).
