Distributed Systems and Environments
====================================
The course teaches how to design and implement efficient tools,
protocols and systems in a distributed environment.
The course tries to give some hands-on experience as well as some
theoretical background.
The programming assignments and the project in the course can be
done in either C/C++ or Java. These assignments will use a cluster
of workstations as well as several software research tools.
