Summary

The course provides basic orientation in the field of parallel and distributed systems. Both the multiprocessor architectures and the distributed computing frameworks are introduced, together with techniques of their utilization from the programmer's perspective. Moreover the subject gives an overview of modern object-oriented distributed systems, their applications and interoperatibility, and it introduces the latest trends in the field of parallel and distributed systems.
