1 EEC-681/781 Distributed Computing Systems Lecture 1 Wenbing Zhao Cleveland State University wenbing@ieee.org

2 2 Fall Semester 2006EEC-681: Distributed Computing SystemsWenbing Zhao What is Distributed Computer System? A collection of independent computers that appear to the users as a single coherent system –Autonomous computers connected by a network –Software specifically designed to provide an integrated computing facility => Our focus!

3 3 Fall Semester 2006EEC-681: Distributed Computing SystemsWenbing Zhao How It is Different from Computer Network? Distributed system is almost synonymous to middleware. It provides distributed transparency

4 4 Fall Semester 2006EEC-681: Distributed Computing SystemsWenbing Zhao Course Objectives Good understanding of distributed computing principles –How distribution transparency is achieved? Hands on experience –Labs: programming in different distributed computing paradigms –Projects: design and implement a distributed application => Put what you learned into use!

5 5 Fall Semester 2006EEC-681: Distributed Computing SystemsWenbing Zhao Prerequisite Operating system principles –Processes, scheduling, file systems, etc. Computer networks –TCP, UDP, IP, Ethernet, etc. Java programming language –At least you should know how to write a Hello World program –You don’t have to be a Java expert

6 6 Fall Semester 2006EEC-681: Distributed Computing SystemsWenbing Zhao Topics Overview of distributed systems –Definition Distributed systems design principles –Distribution transparency –Openness –Mechanisms and policies –Scalability –End-to-end arguments

7 7 Fall Semester 2006EEC-681: Distributed Computing SystemsWenbing Zhao Topics System models –Fundamental models –Architecture models Communication protocols & methods –Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) –Remote Method Invocations (RMI) –Message-oriented communication –Web services

8 8 Fall Semester 2006EEC-681: Distributed Computing SystemsWenbing Zhao Topics Processes –Multithreading and concurrency control –Stateless and stateful design –Process migration Naming –Naming and name resolution –X.500 and LDAP

9 9 Fall Semester 2006EEC-681: Distributed Computing SystemsWenbing Zhao Topics Synchronization –Clock synchronization –Logical clocks –Global snapshot –Election and mutual exclusion –Transactions and distributed commit

10 10 Fall Semester 2006EEC-681: Distributed Computing SystemsWenbing Zhao Labs Lab 0 – Getting familiar with Linux Lab 1 – Java RMI (Remote method invocation) Lab 2 – ActiveMQ (Java Message Service) Lab 3 – Apache Axis (Web services) Lab 4 – Java JNDI (Naming and Directory) Lab 5 – MySQL/JDBC (Transactions) “Tell me and I forget. Show me and I remember. Involve me and I understand.” - Chinese proverb

11 11 Fall Semester 2006EEC-681: Distributed Computing SystemsWenbing Zhao Labs Lab sessions are mandatory unless an exception is granted in advance I will not accept the lab report if you do now show up during the lab session

12 12 Fall Semester 2006EEC-681: Distributed Computing SystemsWenbing Zhao Course Project Team of up to two (2) persons You define the project you want to work on –Problem definition –Approach: how do you achieve distributed transparency, openness, scalability, etc. –Related work

13 13 Fall Semester 2006EEC-681: Distributed Computing SystemsWenbing Zhao Course Project Deliverables –Project proposals –Progress report to help you keep good pace –Final project report Design documentation Source code of your system/application Performance measurement and analysis –Demonstration and presentation

14 14 Fall Semester 2006EEC-681: Distributed Computing SystemsWenbing Zhao Class Participation 10% of the course credit I may perform a roll call in the beginning of each class/lab to determine the attendance To obtain the full credit for class participation, you must satisfy ALL of the following conditions: –You do not miss more than 2 lectures –You do not miss any quiz and lab sessions –You asked at least 10 questions during the semester You will lose all 10% credit if you miss more than 6 lectures/labs

15 15 Fall Semester 2006EEC-681: Distributed Computing SystemsWenbing Zhao Class Participation Send me an email with the following information for each question you have asked within 24 hours after each lecture: –The question you asked –My response –Your comment on my response and suggestion for improvement, if any

16 16 Fall Semester 2006EEC-681: Distributed Computing SystemsWenbing Zhao Class Participation You are also encouraged to give me advice/suggestions on how you would like me to improve my teaching to make it more conducive For each piece of advice/suggestion, it will be counted as 2 questions

17 17 Fall Semester 2006EEC-681: Distributed Computing SystemsWenbing Zhao Examines Two midterms, no final exam The examines are closed book and closed notes, except that you are allowed to bring with you a one-page cheat sheet no larger than the US letter size (double-sided allowed) No makeup examines!

18 18 Fall Semester 2006EEC-681: Distributed Computing SystemsWenbing Zhao Grading Class participation 10% Midterms 40% (20% each) Labs 20% Course project 30% –Proposal 5% –Progress report 5% –Presentation 5% –Report 15% –If you are caught cheating in any of the steps, you will lose all credit for the project

19 19 Fall Semester 2006EEC-681: Distributed Computing SystemsWenbing Zhao Do not cheat! Do not copy other student ’ s lab report, exams or projects Do not copy someone else ’ s work found on the Internet –Including project implementation and report –You can quote a sentence or two, but put those in quote and give reference –You can build your projects on top of open source libraries, but again, you need to explicitly give acknowledgement and state clearly which parts are implemented by you

20 20 Fall Semester 2006EEC-681: Distributed Computing SystemsWenbing Zhao Do not cheat! Do not try to ride on a team without contributing to the project –During presentation, I will ask you questions to determine if you know what you are talking about –I may also ask you to demo your program and walk me through your code

21 21 Fall Semester 2006EEC-681: Distributed Computing SystemsWenbing Zhao Consequences for Cheating You get 0 credit for the project/lab/quiz that you have cheated If the task is worth more than 25% of the course, it is considered a major infraction Otherwise, it is considered a minor infraction

22 22 Fall Semester 2006EEC-681: Distributed Computing SystemsWenbing Zhao Consequences for Cheating For major infraction and repeated minor infractions –You will get an F grade, and –You may be suspended or repulsed from CSU CSU Code of Conduct –http://www.csuohio.edu/studentlife/conduct/St udentCodeOfConduct2004.pdf
