Distributed Networks

The distributed networks course provides the concepts underlying the architecture and operations of distributed networks. Topics include distributed network architectures and processing, communication primitives, resource sharing, event ordering and synchronization, distributed deadlocks and management, naming, load balancing, distributed network operating systems and languages, distributed databases, fault tolerance and recovery strategies, file service, protection issues, design issues, distributed office information systems, and related applications.

High-Speed Networks

The high speed data networks course focuses on the advances in LAN, MAN, and ATM. Topics include high speed data networks models, approaches to design and management of networks, high speed transmission networks and switching technologies, FDDI, DQDB, SMDS, Frame Relay, ATM networks, and SONET, congestion control and traffic management, performance modeling, queuing theory, routing algorithms, data compression, and applications demanding high-speed communication, multicasting for teleconferencing, and mobile computing.
