Course Introduction
The course is an optional course designed for Engineering Master of Computer Science in TIEI. This course mainly introduces Middleware Technology, an important supporting technology that constructs distributed application under heterogeneous environment. Applied between the application system and underlying platform, this technology can shield isomerism of the underlying platform for the upper application and help realize communication and mutual operation between distributed applications through providing standardized service. Through learning of this course, students are expected to master the basic idea of middleware technology, know about ultimate principle of Middleware, master mainstream distributed middleware architecture and master general approaches of constructing distributed applications with Middleware Technology.
|
Prerequisite
Understanding certain object-oriented programming technique
Knowledge of database system, operating system, Java programming
Understanding of commonly used communications protocol and API of distributed applications
|
Course Objectives
This course discusses basic concepts of Middleware Technology to help students understand the Middleware better and enhance their professional skills. After this course, students should be able to:
Cultivate students’ cognition for middleware theory and its key technology,
Help students know deeply about several kinds of middleware software and be able to explore software on them,
Enable students to understand and mater newest research findings and development tendency of middleware technology at a higher level through guiding them to read academic papers in the middleware technology field and make summary, evaluation and discussion, and to
Cultivate students’ deep understanding of middleware technology to lay solid foundation for their future work through carrying out internship and practical training.
