About Developing concurrent distributed systems

The computing systems that support any large enterprise now use concurrency and distribution. In this course, youll look at the theory and practice of developing such systems, and learn about the advanced use of Java - such as Javas concurrency features and the layered approach for building large enterprise systems - using Java Enterprise Edition as a practical illustration. Youll also examine heterogeneous and mobile systems and security. The course uses examples, from simple stand-alone systems, distributed systems with web access, and online auction systems. You should be familiar with Java 5.0, perhaps by successfully completing Putting Java to work (M257).
