In a networked world, distributed systems constitute part of the infrastructure that ensures a platform for implementing application support for the functional use of systems by users.
The distribution of systems deals with problems that need to be studied in depth in order to ensure correct implementations, namely the models and distribution mechanisms and the problems and solutions associated with them.

E-learning

Continuous assessment is privileged: 2 digital written documents (e-folios) during the semester (40%) and a final digital test, Global e-folio (e-folio G) at the end of the semester (60%). In due time, students can alternatively choose to perform one final exam (100%).

Requirements: not applicable.
