Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Details and lecture materials for the course can be found in the teaching platform which is accessible at https://moodle.univie.ac.at/. If you have any individual questions, please use: dse [AT] swa.univie.ac.at. For general questions please use the provided teaching platform such that also your colleagues benefit from the discussions.

The topics of the lecture are foundational distributed IS technologies such as distributed system design, development with sockets, concurrency, remote objects, services, REST, service-oriented architectures (SOA), messaging und enterprise application integration (EAI). You will work on these topics in practice and/or theory.

Methods:
* Interactive discourse with your colleagues and lecturers
* Conception, planning and implementation of a simplified but realistic project
* Individual and group work on related practical and theoretical topics
* Students can present submissions and concepts to receive feedback
* Online self-evaluation and programming tasks
* Blended Learning

Assessment and permitted materials

* Several written examinations
* Practical project, to be tackled by a selected group of students (distributed software project: preparation/analysis, design, implementation, and presentation)
* Theoretical analysis of tasks and related literature studies
* Contribution during but also outside the course units (e.g., studying lecture, online, and written materials, taking part in self assessment tasks, preparing programming tasks etc)
* Working on the provided materials and presenting the results, ideas and concepts

All submissions must be handed in due time via Moodle/GitLab or the respective relevant platform. The use of aids (unless explicitly permitted by the lecturers before the exam) during the exams is not permitted. All exams/quizzes are individual work. The practical assignment is a group project which must be worked on only by the respective group members. Any sources and third party materials must be cited while working on the submissions.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

To pass the course, at least 40% of the possible 49 points for the written exams must be reached.
To pass the course, at least 40% of the possible 49 points for the practical part must be reached.
To pass the course, at least 50% of the overall 100 points must be reached. In addition to exam and assignment these 100 points include points which can be earned by: giving feedback, introductory quiz.

If the course is passed, the grade is determined from the total of the achieved points as follows:
- >= 89 total points: Sehr Gut (1)
- >= 76 total points: Gut (2)
- >= 63 total points: Befriedigend (3)
- >= 50 total points: Genügend (4)
-----------------------------------------
- not passed: Nicht Genügend (5)

Attendance:
An active participation in the first session (the preliminary lecture) and especially the INTRO quiz is mandatory.
After the preliminary lecture:
* Theoretical part: no compulsory attendance. Active participation in these units is recommended to support your exam preparations.
* Practical part: no compulsory attendance. Active participation is recommended to get feedback on your concepts and designs and to discuss questions related to the given assignment.
* Submission presentation: compulsory attendance on the dates assigned to the students.

Examination topics

Object-oriented programming and UML modeling skills are required. You will also need to create software architectures while taking common best practices and patterns into account.

* Lecture notes (as slides) and exercise materials from Moodle
* Worksheets, self evaluation quizzes, and programming tasks
* Lecture sessions, materials, and the practical assignment
* Literature/Web References on the Reading List, Provided Reading Materials, and Reference Literature

Quality assurance:
All content submitted by students can be checked for plagiarism and/or cheating using automatic tools and individual inquiries. This can be done on concrete suspicion or on a random basis. Any (partial) performance obtained by fraud leads to an 'X' in your transcript, meaning that you have been caught cheating or plagiarizing.
