Open Computing

Course Description

The corurse defines the notion of Open computing with emphasis on portability, adaptability, availability and cooperation. Basics of open systems security are explained as well as notions of freedom and licencing. Relations between open hardware and software computing components and their users are compared. Standards, their roles and adoption process are analysed, with emphasis on the norms related to open systems and internet. Concepts of distributed computing based on open standards (ubiquitous, wireless, mobile, pervasive) are analysed. Principles of building open, distributed, dynamical, interactive web based information services and systems are explained, together with related standards, technologies and protocols.
