CSE 510/410
Title : Enterprise Systems: Issues, Theories and Technologies

This course will address some of the fundamental challenges in the design,
implementation and deployment of large scale distributed systems including
connection establishment, event handling, interprocess communication, storage
management, static and dynamic component configuration, concurrency and 
synchronization. It will also cover issues related to distributed objects
such as mobility, security, naming, location, evolution, autonomy and
negotiations. Possible solutions will be analyzed and expressed using 
objects, processes, services, components and frameworks at various levels 
of granularity. This course will focus on practical solutions over theoretical
formalisms and server-side and middleware technology over client-side. 

Concepts studied will be applied to solve problems in various domains
such as wireless world, embedded devices and appliances network, electronic
marketplace and application servers. Students will work in orchestrated
groups with well-defined responsibilities on a large scale enterprise 
level project. There will be a mid-semester assessment and a final exam,
the formats of which will be given to you on the first-day of class.
