Abstract: Middleware provides a standardized infrastructure for distributed computing. It comprises standardized programming APIs, augmented by a set of core services that make it possible to develop and execute distributed applications in heterogeneous environments. The primary objectives of middleware are to foster application portability and application interoperability. Middleware is, roughly speaking, the software below the application and above the operating system / network. Common middleware platforms include, Java-RMI, CORBA, CORBA Components, and Java Beans.
 
Synopsis:
  • Praktische Informatik, Master 10 SP
  • 2 lectures per week, over one semester (4SWS VL + 2SWS UE).
  • Offered regularly, usually in summer, at least once every two years.
  • Prerequisites: GdP, preferably also "Operating Systems Principles I".

Credits and grading:

  • Oral examinations are offered by the instructor at the end of the semester, and at the beginning of the following semester.
  • To qualify for the examination, students have to complete lab assignments to the satisfaction of the teaching assistant.

Lab (Übung):

  • Labs are scheduled every 2 weeks at the time and place specified above. A teaching assistant will be present at each lab to assist students with questions and problems.
  • Participation (physical presence) at the lab is mandatory in order to obtain credits for the assignment.
  • A lab worksheet will be published on this web site a few days before the corresponding lab is scheduled (usually Friday). Students should use this time to adequately prepare for the lab.
  • Results have to be submitted via GOYA for grading. Submission deadlines are specified on the worksheets (usually 14 days after the assignment was published).
  • Worksheets: [lab1], [lab2], [lab3], [lab4], [lab5]
  • Slides: [lab1], [lab2], [lab3], [lab4], [lab5]
  • Deadlines:
