This course runs in Germany. This course covers a range of essential topics related to distributed computing systems. Yet these modules are not isolated; each one takes its place in the field in relation to others. The emphasis in the course is to build the connections between topics, enabling software engineers to achieve co-operation between distinct autonomous systems under constraints of cost and performance requirements. The course is suitable for: Recent graduates in Electrical or Electronic Engineering or Computer Science, who wish to develop their skills in the field of distributed computing systems. Practicing engineers and computer professionals who wish to develop their knowledge in this area. People with suitable mathematical, scientific or other engineering qualifications, usually with some relevant experience, who wish to enter this field.

Students graduated from the programme are in high demand from both industry and academia undertaking Computer Networks Analysis, Design and Optimisation with quality-of-service support Service oriented Computing Systems (XML based Web services) Large Scale Distributed Systems (Grid Computing Systems)
