1. Distributed Systems and Network Planning The specialisation aims to provide students with the ability to undertake the construction of large scale information processing systems and communication facilities. Students are provided with knowledge and understanding of system architecture and topology and their impact on system performance and reliability as well as planning and management methodologies for large scale communication networks. The specialization comprises three semesters covering; system design and system analysis, where the former focuses on design methodologies according to the well known lattice of analysis, design, implementation and test and the latter on advanced analysis w.r.t. performance and reliability.

2. Semesters ● 8. sem: System Design ● 9. sem: Performance Analysis and Network Planning ● 10. sem: Thesis

3. 9. sem: System Analysis Project work is based on an existing large scale information processing problem. An initial design may be conducted and made subject to analysis or analysis may be performed on an existing design. Emphasis may be put solely on the communication facility and the associated network planning. Analysis is focussed on quantitative aspects such as capacity and Quality of Service including reliability and availability as well as economic aspects. Analysis may be conducted through mathematical modelling, simulation or testing.
