This course is meant to illustrate the conceptual foundations and the main issues of modern distributed computational systems. Also, the main technologies for constructing distributed systems are introduced, in terms of languages, middleware, and infrastructures. In particular, object-based, web-based and coordination-based systems are used as the sources for case studies and for experiments in the laboratory.
