Communication for Distributed Systems (CDS) |
Lecturer
Prof. Dr. Stefan Witte / Prof. Dr. Jürgen Jasperneite
Credits: 6
5 course hours per week: 3 hours lectures; 2 hours labs
Aim
The course is intended to provide knowledge about Protocol Engineering and Performance Evaluation of Distributed Realtime Systems,
as they can be found in networked control applications e.g. in modern cars or trains as well as in the area
of industrial automation systems. One objective is to become acquainted with the different relevant technologies and protocols,
to understand different approaches and to catch the differences – and common points –
to internet communication. A second aim is to get a first hands-on experience in modeling, development,
simulation and measurement of communication systems.
