Distributed Systems Lab (184.547, 184.167, 184.168)
Welcome to the Distributed Systems Lab 2003!
This site provides all information for this year's lab. It covers the organizational aspects, includes a grading service and discusses the four lab examples in detail. This page briefly describes the information you find on this site and provides shortcuts to the most commonly used pages.
Hint: The distributed systems lab is for students who have to take either the 'LU 2.0, Rechnernetze' (184.547 - old curriculum), the 'LU 2.0, Verteilte Systeme' (184.167 - new curriculum) or the 'LU 1.0, Verteilte Systeme' (184.168 - new curriculum). There is no distinction between English and German anymore - the test(s) will be in German and you will get a German 'Zeugnis'. The lab material as this Web site, however, will remain in English. See the grading scheme section for more information about what you have to implement for the different courses and how the grading differs.
Hint: This year we offer the distributed systems lab both in the SUMMER semester 03 and WINTER semester 03/04 . Thus if you have any doubts about doing the lab this semester (time; other courses; girl/boy friend, mother or grandma misses you; whatever else ...), you can do it in the upcoming winter semester and don't have to wait a full year!
Hint: If you are studying business informatics ('Wirtschaftsinformatik') and need to take IT/RAK, you have to do the LU 1.0 and the VO 1.0. More information on IT/RAK can be found at the business informatics coordination Web site and the 'Fachschaft' .

[Organization Overview]
[Timetable] [Grading Scheme] [Grading Service] |
Organization and GradingA lab as the DSG lab requires a lot of organization: deadlines have to be kept, lab examples have to be submitted, the submissions have to be graded, etc. In the organization section you'll find answers to all questions related to the timetable, the requirements you have to fulfill to participate in the lab, the grading scheme and the amount of points you collected so far. Make sure that you read this section at least once and understand the information in it. If you have questions on the qualification mode and/or the grading scheme, clarify them as early as possible to not waste your (and our) time. |

[Task Description]
[Lab 1] [Lab 2] [Lab 3] [Lab 4] [Certification Authority] |
Task DescriptionOnce you read through the other sections and set up your development environment, this will be the section you'll spend most of the time with. Here an overview of the ShareMe system is given, the detailed task descriptions can be found and the certification authority is described. It is important that you closely stick to the requirements formulated in the task descriptions; otherwise your submissions might not be testable and you won't get points. Thus it is a good practice to re-read a task description and check all requirements before submitting a lab example. |
