Overview of distributed computing. Topics include: computational models, communication complexity, design and analysis of distributed algorithms and protocols, fault-tolerant protocols, synchronous computations. Applications may include: communication in data networks, control in distributed system (e.g., election, distributed mutual exclusion), manipulation of distributed data (e.g., ranking). Includes: Experiential Learning Activity Prerequisite(s): COMP 1805 with a minimum grade of C-, COMP 2401 with a minimum grade of C-, and (COMP 2406 or SYSC 4504). Lectures three hours a week. [0.5 credits]
