Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years (1.8.2018-31.7.2020), which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

You understand the benefits of systems with concurrency, but also the problems caused by concurrency, and know how to overcome them. You can apply general design principles, models and methods to construct concurrent systems that, in addition to other requirements, behave correctly with the respect to their functional specifications. You have got an experience of applying the theories using the concurrency features of programming languages. You understand concurrency models and the principles of concurrency frameworks and have experience in using them.
