DOPC

The course language for DOPC is about half Danish half English. The "pervasive computing" part of the course is being taught English, and the part on CORBA and EJB will be taught in Danish. Foreign students who are interested in following the course under these terms, please contact Ulrik.

This web page started out as mostly in Danish. It is being translated to English on-demand. Again, contact Ulrik for more information if you don't read Danish.

In this course we study contemporary distributed object technology and survey the emerging field of pervasive computing.

Distributed object frameworks such as CORBA and Java (RMI and J2EE) are core elements in today's application development. We study these technologies in detail along with the currently emerging .NET framework, as well as state-of-the-art technologies such as JINI, publish/subscribe, and mobile agents. In addition, we give a brief introduction to computability in distributed systems (notably the consensus problem).

Pervasive computing regards the introduction of interconnected computers into everyday situations, from embedded control systems to public healthcare. We survey technical aspects of the current research in pervasive computing, with special focus on the research being conducted at the Center for Pervasive Computing.
