The structure of the final grade: one programming assignment to be submitted in couples (30%), two dry home assignments to be submitted individually (20%), and a final exam (50%). You need to get at least 40 in the exam in order to pass the course.
The programming assignment will be published around the 8th week of the semester. The dry ones will be published roughly on weeks 5 and 12. (This is an approximate estimation)
H.W. late submissions:
Late submissions will result in a penalty in form of 5 points per day for the first two days, and 10 points per day for the rest.
Prerequisites:
- Working knowledge of Java (needed for programming assignments).
- General knowledge of OOP concepts.
- Operating Systems.
- Parallel and Distributed Programming.
- Other courses in Distributed Algorithms and Introduction to Computer Networks can be helpful, but are not necessary.
