Have you ever wondered how Netflix or GPS navigation works? Or what things happen when you pay the bill contactless with your Apple Watch? These things are a part of our modern everyday life and we usually don't have any clue how complex and spread over the world (distributed) they can be. These are distributed systems. Let's look at their fundamental parts and understand how they work.

If you are curious about what we are doing in the labs, then follow the white rabbit ;-)

For mutual communication in this coure we use the Slack application. It is available as a web, desktop or mobile application. At the beginning of the semester you will get an invitation to the "KIV/DS" workspace into your university mailbox. Please accept it, register and join important channels.

The work in this course is managed using the Google Classroom - you will be automatically enrolled into the appropriate course.

Looking forward

   Max. Otta
