Learning outcomes

To get a passing grade the students should be able to:

  • Show abilities necessary in order to participate in the conducting of a realistic software development project with external stakeholders.
  • Account for how a large project is run from the initial planning to the finish.
  • Use "state-of-the-art" design principles and programming methods.
  • Delimit the assignment and choose applicable components to carry out the work based on an appropriate project methodology and carry out the planning accordingly.
  • Account for an reflect on hie/his own role in the project group and in the development process.

Content

Both breath and deep knowledge aspects of the following areas:

  • Distributed systems, e.g. distributed operating systems, distributed databases, fault tolerance, atomic actions and synchronisation.
  • Project methodology, comprising methods for planning, work methods within computer technology, project reporting, documentation and report writing.
