Student Evaluation
Final Exam: 40% (April 21) Quiz: 15% (Feb 20) 3 Programming Assignments: 35% 2 Concept Assignments: 10% No makeup quiz except for religious reasons. I need two
weeks warning and you must go through your Dean’s office. If you miss your quiz for a non-religious reason and present
valid documentation to the Dean’s office, your Final exam mark will be reweighed to include the weight of the Quiz.

Late Assignments
There is a penalty of 2^n marks, where n is the number of days late.
The weekend counts as one day. Extensions will be granted only on serious medical or
compassionate grounds. Extensions will NOT be given for minor illness.

Late Coupons
You are given 3 “late coupons” Late coupons may be applied toward the individual
assignments but not toward the group assignment. Each coupon is a one day extension. Rules
No transfer to other students Once used, you may not receive it back Coupons cannot be redeemed retroactively Unused coupons are not redeemable for extra marks Use of a late coupon does not change the final date on
which an assignment will be accepted.

Course Objectives
The main objective is to study the principles of distributed computing.
Distributed computing is a broad subject. This course roughly focuses on the following: Topics related to distributed system services such as
support for RPCs and file systems. Topics related to the development of reliable distributed
applications. This includes socket programming, RPC, replication, election algorithms, time, consistency and security. Your programming assignments will focus on this.

Topics
Communication Network organization Socket Programming RPC
Processes Iterative vs. Concurrent servers Thread Programming Design Issues
Naming Synchronization Consistence and Replication Security File Systems Distributed object-based systems (CORBA, DCOM) (time permitting)

Frequently Asked Questions
Will you be providing previous exams? No
Why? This is almost the first time that I have taught the course.
Can I use last year’s CS402 book and not this year’s CS402 book? The answer is probably “yes”, but I think this year’s book
is better written which is one of the reasons it was chosen. This course seems to be a heavy load. Is it?
We will find out
