Content
This course deals with a variety of advanced and current themes in the field of distributed systems - themes that are often, but not necessarily research-oriented.
The contents of the course and the related discussed themes can (but need not) change each year, dependen on
- progress in the scientific domain
- research themes that are dealt with in the department
- research projects that are executed in the department
- visitors to the department, with an expertise that is not discussed in the present courses.
The concrete teaching form will depend on the discussed themes, the discussed problems and the teacher. Often, this will occur by means of scientific literature (a number of articles).
The teaching form that is often appropriate consists of
- a small number of introductory lectures or work sessions by the teacher
- a larger number of lectures or work sessions in which one or more students forward one or more articles, followed by a discussion.
