The course is especially for students which are interested in mobile computing applications and their implementation. The course starts with an introduction also to new areas like Ambient Intelligence and Ubiqitous Computing, describes applications and gives an overview about the domain. After that, the next courses consider different functionalities such as networking aspects (different short and long range communication capabilities), and special mobile computing concepts such as disconnected and autonomous operation, mobile agents and context based adaptation. 

After that, different architectures for mobile distributed systems are discussed. Different options for implementing mobile systems, starting from communication, over local and distributed platforms (e.g. WAP, OSGi, J2ME, J2EE) until the implementation of graphical user interfaces are given in the implementation section of the course. Additional concepts such as mobile security, data synchronization, downsizing of applications to mobile devices, data synchronization methods, databases for mobile devices, location based services, Semantic Web and autonomous behaviour will be partly discussed in a separate section. Tools, environments, platforms and emulators are considered near the end of the course, as well as current international research and industrial projects will be presented.

The complexity of modern software systems is continually increasing. At the same time, development times keep getting shorter, and software requirements keep changing more frequently.

The lecture looks at Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE) as one major possibility to cope with these challenges. By building applications from individual, independent building blocks (components), CBSE provides two major directions which help to cope with complexity, short time-to-market, and increased demand for flexibility:

Components can be pre-fabricated and traded independently of specific applications. This fosters reuse and thus can decrease development cost and time-to-market, while increasing the quality of the resulting software.

Component-structured applications can more easily be adapted to new requirements, because individual components can be exchanged largely independently of the rest of the system.

​Upon completion of the module, students have learned to solve complex problems of the design of distributed systems on their own, to analyse case studies and to make comparisons with other projects to identify potential critical issues. They can make argumentative points and defend them.

Moreover students are familiar with scalability, fault tolerance, security and robustness and can see things in context with issues, such as database development and computer architecture. Thanks to their broad knowledge, students can also assess the latest developments and discuss them.

Most of the new CPUs have multiple cores. This will require concurrent applications that can harness the computing power of the underlying processors. This course focuses on the foundations of concurrent and distributed systems that are required for engineering concurrent and also distributed applications. Besides the theoretical foundations, the course will also show how to build high-performance concurrent programs.

​Принципи і підходи до широко розповсюджених поточних технологій і прикладного рівня в Інтернеті. Курс розпочинається з викладення фундаментальних принципів протоколів та механізмів взаємодії у World Wide Web з оглядом на їх загальні застосування. Розглядаються більш докладно технології, що об’єднуються під термінами Web 2.0 і HTML5. Крім того, розглядається можливості впровадження концепції Semantic Web як доповнення до існуючого класичного вебу. Крім того, розглядаються такі системи, як file sharing applications і content distribution networks.

​This lecture is going to introduce various aspects and concepts regarding the construction and implementation of microkernel-based operating system. In the first part, we introduce fundamental mechanisms that are required for efficient construction of an operating system on top of a microkernel. In the second part of the lecture, we show you real systems that have been built using these concepts. While strongly focussing on the microkernel work done at TU Dresden, we also take a look at alternatives.

In addition to the lecture, we also have a practical course in which you will built parts of an operating system on top of a L4 microkernel in a group of 2-4 students. You are encouraged to take this practical course, too.

For safety critical systems, the risk of software failures must be negligible. In this course we will present design principles for building highly dependable systems, i.e., systems that are available, reliable and secure. The scope of dependability ranges from simple hardware components up to complex distributed systems.

Real-time systems are systems interacting with the real world. Their correctness depends on the timeliness of results. This topic touches many of the classical branches of computer science. It is related to computer architecture like bus design, operating systems, programming languages, software engineering, use cases like multimedia or car electronics, and theoretical computer science. Processor scheduling, a synonym for real-time systems in many universities, is but a true subset of what we try to teach in this course.

The lecture is very loosely based on these two books: Jane Liu: Real-Time Systems, Hermann Kopetz: Real-Time Systems

Despite bearing the same title, the books a fundamentally different. The authors even follow different schools of real-time systems. Neither book covers all areas of real time systems. Consequently, we use both books in the lecture and also mix in publications and own experiences. And we are generous with leaving things out.
The lecture will be a bit heterogeneous, as we are trying to cover a broad range of topics. However, we cut short on scheduling theory and the deeper mathematics, as this is covered in the lecture on scheduling theory.​
