For this part we refer to the page in Dutch or Nederlands under the heading "Leerstof"

We link the slides we used during the lectures to chapters of the books.  It is possible that certain aspects are discussed in more detail in the book than on the slides. We expect that you understand what is on the slides. Some topics we discussed on the slides are not covered by the book (in most cases marked above with "-").

session 1-2 : networklab	configure a network with routers, switches and Windows and Linux PCs Assignment and documentation will be distributed in groups of 3 to 4 students period will be announced later students reserve a timeslot
session 3 : practical session RMI	create a small distributed application with RMI practical session in a PC-room  exact date/time will be announced later
session 4-5 : practical session:  sockets & distributed algorithms	implement a distributed algorithm using sockets practical session in a PC-room exact date/time will be announced later

 
 

The exam is open book with a limited time (at most 4 hours) for a written preparation students are expected to have insight in the course material,be able to solve small exercises, demonstrate algorithms with examples, be able to explain relations for at least two of the questions you will have to explain your answer for the other questions you will have to handover your answers on paper.
