• Course Objectives and Backgrounds - This course is about networking programming in the UNIX environment. The students will learn the network and interprocess communication concepts and implement them in C and Java.

  The course materials will include socket, system calls, TCP/UDP client/server, blocked IO, serialization, multicasting & broadcasting , fork, signal, pipe, FIFO, file locking, message queue, semaphore, shared memory, memory mapped files, multi-threaded server and synchronization, IO multiplexing, asynchronous notiofication IO model, overlapped IO model, completion port IO model, and HTTP server.

  Students will be evaluated based on four homework assignments (25 points per each) which involves considerable network programming.
