Weekly lectures presenting theoretical aspects of concurrency, distribution, and mobility. Weekly exercise classes allow the students to work with the theory themselves. Mandatory exercises: A sequence of labs provide practical experience where the students in groups construct a simple game which eventually will demonstrate aspects of concurrency, distribution, and mobility and how to solve such problems in practice. Students are required to submit reports on this work, and to participate actively in defending and opposing reports, before they can sign up for the exams. The course on Mobile and Distributed Systems (MDS) is the first part of the specialization module on Mobile and Distributed Systems. As this is a broad, introductory course, we will not have time to develop all aspects of such systems in complete detail. In the second part of the specialization module, in both course and project form, we will develop these as well as more advanced aspects in more detail. Reading groups on, for example, peer-to-peer systems could study recent research results. Projects on, for example, modeling protocols for mobile ad-hoc networks could study security aspects.
