Home page - Distributed Programming I (01MQP)

Starting from the academic year 2010-2011 this course is switched-off. Only the students that enrolled in the past may take this exam.

As there are no more lectures, there will not be any homework. The exam is organized as a written test (4 hours) split in three parts:
- (part A) network programming in C language - writing pieces of C programs
- (part B) web programming with ASP/JS - writing web pages with HTML/ASP/JS
- (part C) architettures, protocols and data formats for distributed systems - open questions about these topics

During parts A and B the student may use the course's handouts while for part C it will not be possible to use any text.

In each academic year, the following exam sessions will be available:

two regular sessions in February and one in September,
one special session in July, only for "laureandi" that requested it within the deadline fixed by the Students' Office.

UPDATE ON 6/12/2012

Following the decisions of the POLITO administration, exams for this course will take place for the last time in the AY 2012-2013. Moreover the "laureandi" sessions have been cancelled and thus the new exam schedule is as follows:

two sessions in February, one in July and one in September.
