Objectives
"KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING":
THE CLASS FIRST AIM IS TO EXPLORE ASPECTS RELATED TO DISTRIBUTED PROGRAMMING. BEGINNING WITH THE BASIS OF CONCURRENT PROGRAMMING (MULTI-THREAD), THE DISTRIBUTED ARCHITECTURES AND RELATED ISSUES ARE PRESENTED. THE ARCHITECTURE OF JAVA RMI AND SOME SIMPLE APPLICATIONS ARE PRESENTED. THEN ENTERPRISE COMPUTING IS PRESENTED AT A MEDIUM-HIGH LEVEL OF DETAILS BY INTRODUCING THE ARCHITECTURE OF JAVA ENTERPRISE EDITION (JAVA EE 7), FROM THE DESIGN PRINCIPLES, UP TO THE DATA LAYER, BUSINESS LAYER, SERVICES LAYER AND SOME INFO ABOUT THE PRESENTATION LAYER. SERVICE ORIENTED ARCHITECTURE AND MESSAGE ORIENTED MIDDLEWARE WILL BE PRESENTED AS PART OF THE JAVA ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE.

"APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING":
THE COURSE AIMS TO ENABLE STUDENTS TO DESIGN AND DEVELOP DISTRIBUTED APPLICATIONS AND SIMPLE WEB SERVICES. AT THE END OF THE COURSE THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO DESIGN AND DEVELOP DISTRIBUTED APPLICATIONS, SCALABLE AND SECURE, AND RPC-STYLE OR WEB SERVICES.


Prerequisites
STUDENTS MUST HAVE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE ON THE ARCHITECTURE OF NETWORKS AND TCP / IP PROTOCOLS AND CLIENT/SERVER PROGRAMMING. THE STUDENT MUST ALSO HAVE GOOD PROGRAMMING EXPERIENCE IN C AND JAVA, WITH EXPERIENCE OF AT LEAST ONE SIGNIFICANT IDE . IT IS ALSO DESIRABLE THAT THE STUDENT HAS BASIC KNOWLEDGE THE MAIN TECHNIQUES FOR DEVELOPING WEB APPLICATIONS.

Teaching Methods
THE CLASS CONSISTS OF THEORETICAL LESSONS (6 CFU) ON ARCHITECTURES AND FUNCTIONALITIES AND SOME LABORATORY PRACTICE CLASSE (3 CFU), WHERE STUDENTS DEVELOP SIMPLE JAVA RMI AND JAVA ENTERPRISE APPLICATIONS
Verification of learning
SIX EXAM SESSIONS DURING THE WHOLE ACADEMIC YEAR, IN ADDITION TO TWO SPECIAL ONES RESERVED TO STUDENTS THAT ARE NOT ATTENDING CLASSES.
EACH SESSION IS PROVIDED WITH A WRITTEN/LAB TEST AND AN ORAL TEST.THE GOAL OF THE WRITTEN/LAB TEST IS TO ASSESS THE SKILL OF STUDENTS IN DESIGNING AND IMPLEMENTING SIMPLE JAVA PROGRAMS (RMI AND ENTERPRISE), WHILE THE GOAL OF THE ORAL EXAM IS TO ASSESS THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUISITION OF ALL THE TOPICS PRESENTED IN THE CLASS. THE WRITTEN / PRACTICAL TEST IS PREPARATORY TO THE ORAL EXAM. THE RESULTING MARK IS CALCULATED USING A WEIGHTED AVERAGE OF THE TWO TEST MARKS.
