• Objectives
  This programme covers advanced networking, software development technologies and architectures for design and management of distributed computer systems and networks aims to provide graduates with the deep knowledge, skills and understanding required to allow them to contribute to the planning, design and management of modern network based computer systems. Students will gain the understanding of current technologies and architectures necessary for the network and communications infrastructure of enterprise computer systems. Students are also expected to gain the necessary skills to develop and design modern distributed software systems using appropriate technologies, architectures and techniques (e.g. distributed component technologies, web applications technologies, web-enabled distributed databases, e-commerce, data warehousing and data mining) and to understand the advanced network technologies supporting the upper layers, together with their planning, management and security.
