Latest Topics in the area of Distributed Systems will be discussed.

The courses covers the foundations of design and analysis of algorithms and data structures, including graph theory and graph problems. It also introduces generic and parallel programming.

Introduction to basic problem solving methods, algorithms, and data structures. Topics: divide and conquer, recursion, sorting algorithms, backtracking, game tree search, data structures (lists, stacks, queues, binary trees), discrete simulation, concurrency. In the assignments and exercises, the programming language Java is used.

Models of distributed computations, time space diagrams, virtual time, logical clocks and causality, wave algorithms, parallel and distributed graph traversal, consistent snapshots, mutual exclusion, election and symmetry breaking, distributed termination detection, garbage collection in distributed systems, monitoring distributed systems, global predicates.

Distributed control algorithms (mutual exclusion, logical clocks),communication models (RPC, Client-Server, synchronous and asynchronouscommunication, sockets), abstract communication principles (broadcast,events, tupel spaces), name service, middleware (CORBA, JINI), securitymechanisms, Web services (SOAP, WSDL, UDDI).

This course involves the participation in a substantial development and/or evaluation project involving distributed systems technology. Projects are available in a wide range of areas: from web services to ubiquitous computing as well as wireless networks. The objective of the project is for the students to gain hands-on experience on tools and problems in the context of a real team project.

Mobile and wearable devices (phones, watches, rings) increasingly support health and activity monitoring. Course topics include sensing user behavior and activity, actions, and basic physiology, plus the sensors, signals, and methods to collect, process, and model the data. This includes affect-related and camera-based sensing within a mobile health and behavioral focus.

Latest Topics in the field of Mobile Information and Communication Systems will be discussed.

Ubiquitous computing integrates tiny wirelessly connected computers and sensors into the environment and everyday objects. Main topics: The vision of ubiquitous computing, trends in technology, smart cards, RFID, Bluetooth, sensor networks, location awareness, application areas and business issues, privacy.
