Course Contents:
Objectives:
- Overview knowledge of relevant areas and basic problems of net-centric computing (NCC)
- Reproductive comprehension of selected, central algorithms, protocols and procedures (e.g. DCT-based compression)
- Applicable method knowledge to well-known elements of engineering NCC-systems NCC here shall be considered as an "internet technology in the broadcast sense" and covers in particular themes of the classical areas of computer networks, distributed systems, multimedia and mobile communication/ mobile computing, with new developments under keywords as ubiquitous/pervasive computing, peer-to-peer-computing, ambient intelligence, disappearing computers.
Course Content:
- Overview to all areas
- Computer networks
- Fundamental terms: service, protocol, connection, layer modelo Most important protocol mechanisms to media access, routing broad-/multicast
- Optional performance evaluating
- Multimedia data handling
- Features of continuous data streams and their processing
- Quality of service: definition and central mechanisms
- Multimedia-synchronization: formal basics
- Compression: procedures; few words to standards(reference to continuatives)
- Content analysis in supplement to "canonical HCI"
- Distributed systems and algorithms
- Selected algorithms (e.g. clocks, consistency, election, snap shot)
- Programmable models and languages (e.g. RPC and tuple space)
- Selected engineering-aspects (e.g. formal appendages)
- Mobile and ubiquitous computing
- Formal basics of mobile communication (layer 0-2, e.g. hidden-terminal)
- Mobile computing: e.g. spontaneous cross-linking, mobile internet
- Ubiquitous computing: e.g. context sensitivity, event based systems
- Web Engineering Basics
- Models and procedures of hypermedia-systems
- Comparison with HTML and XML-based standards and systems
- Methods and tools of software techniques of web applications
Diploma Supplement:
