Contents
The Distributed Operating Systems lecture continues and consolidates the topics of the basic course Operating Systems and Security. It is particularly focused on presenting a balanced combination of distributed systems in-use as well as research projects and their underlying construction principles.
The lecture covers the following aspects:
- Scalability and Fault Tolerance
- Memory Consistency and Synchronization in Parallel Systems
- Security in Distributed Systems and Trusted Computing
