Entry requirements

Computer architecture.

Aims

The aim of this course is to introduce, study and

discuss the main issues in data communication. It

will include layered communication architectures,

transmission techniques, protocol design, network

organisation and user-to-user data exchange

principles. Knowledge of data communication is

necessary for the design of personal communication

systems, remote data base systems, distributed

systems and other cooperating systems.

Content

The subject data communication includes architectures, design methods and implementation techniques for the exchange of data between computers in computer networkss.

Instruction

Lectures and laboratory work.

Assessment

Written examination at the end of the course. Passed laboratory course is also required.
