Course introduction
Concurrent programming denotes the design and implementation of simultaneously running computational tasks which are cooperating on a joint objective. Interaction may either be based on synchronization mechanisms provided by a single machine, or on networking in case of a distributed computing environment. Using Java as the teaching language, this course provides the basic understanding of some concurrency problems and how they can be addressed both on a single computer and in a distributed computing environment.

Qualifications
The students will obtain the knowledge which is required to design and implement concurrent and distributed programs. More precisely, the course will give competences in applying in the following listed topics. • Basic programming primitives which are useful for concurrent programming. • Design patterns required to structure a concurrent programming problem appropriately. • The concepts and properties of concurrent and distributed programs. • Networking facilities provided in an object oriented programming environment. • Features supporting concurrent programming in contemporary object oriented programming languages and libraries, exemplified by Java.
