SEEM4530 Introduction to Client/Server Systems

Course Code and Name: SEEM4530 Introduction to Client/Server Systems
Course Objectives: This course aims at providing a foundation in decentralized computer systems, using the client/server model. We will introduce the basic concepts of client/server systems including the installation and administration of networking. Students will learn implementation techniques such as Java sockets. Internet-based client/server techniques will also be discussed.
Course Outcomes: 1. Understand the architecture of client/server systems and able to develop applications using client/server communication 2. Understand the concept of process 3. Able to design different types of client/server based on the objectives of applications 4. Understand different network protocols 5. Able to develop sockets for communication between machines at different nodes in a network 6. Able to develop client/server systems using Internet standards										Programme Outcomes: (P1) The ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering appropriate to the degree discipline (K/S) (P2) The ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data (K/S) (P3) The ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints, such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability and sustainability (K/S) (P4) The ability to function in multi-disciplinary teams (S/V) (P5) The ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems (K/S) (P6) The understanding of professional and ethical responsibility (V) (P7) The ability to communicate effectively (S) (P8) The ability to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context, especially the importance of health, safety and environmental considerations to both workers and the general public (V) (P9) The ability to recognize the need for, and to engage in life-long learning (V) (P10) The ability to stay abreast of contemporary issues (S/V) (P11) The ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice appropriate to the degree discipline (K/S) (P12) The ability to use the computer/IT tools relevant to the discipline along with an understanding of their processes and limitations (K/S/V) (P13) The ability to apply the skills relevant to the discipline of operations research and information technology and their applications in engineering and managerial decision making, especially in financial services, logistics and supply chain management, business information systems, and service engineering and management (K/S) K = Knowledge outcomes S = Skills outcomes V = Values and attitude outcomes
