In this subject, it is intended that student know the principles and technologies to program communications applications. Students will apply these technologies in practice and, at the end of the subject they will be able to program simple distributed applications about TCP / IP networks.
Several subjects allow students to deepen some of the competences covered in this subject, such as Distributed Protocols, Advanced Distributed Systems, Software Engineering for Web Applications.
This subject is structured over competences achieved in the following subjects: Programming Fundamentals, Networks and Services, Databases, Object- Oriented Programming, Network and Services and Operating Systems.
| General skills | Specific competences |
|---|---|
|
Instrumental INS1. Analysis and synthesis capacity INS3. Capacity to apply knowledge to analyze situations and solve problems INS6. Capacity to communicate orally and properly written in Catalan and Spanish, both in expert and inexperienced audiences
Systemic SIS1. Capacity to apply with creativity and flexibility the acquired knowledge and adapt them to new contexts and situations. SIS2. Capacity to progress in training processes and learning independently and continuously. |
Specific competences of Basic Training B14. Understand the theoretical basis of programming and use methods and programming languages for the development of software systems in a practical way. B16. Know the basic concepts of the architecture of computers and servers, as well as the principles of operating systems.
Specific Common Competences in the branch of Telecommunications T7. Capacity to know and use architecture and design methodology, verification and software validation. T8. Capacity to perform programming in real time, concurrent, distributed and event-based as well as human-computer interface design. T13. Capacity to know, understand and use the concepts of network architecture, protocols and communication interfaces.
Competences of specific technology: Telematic Engineering (TE) ET3. Capacity to build, exploit and manage data processing communication services, including Internet, web, architectural design (data and protocols), software engineering and technology, knowledge management and distributed multimedia information, using analytical tools for planning, dimensioning and analysis. ET4. Capacity to describe, program, optimize and validate protocols and communication interfaces at different levels of a network architecture. ET6. Capacity to design client-server and P2P architectures, operating systems and virtual machines. ET7. Capacity for programming network and distributed services and applications and interactive services, with criteria of usability and accessibility of services. |

| Type | Modality | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
Lecture |
In the classroom, in a big group |
- We use PC, projector and whiteboard to support the explanations. |
|
Seminar |
In the classroom, in small groups |
- Students make small groups to discuss and resolve questions and small practical activities. |
|
Practical activities |
In the computer room, in small groups |
- Practical activities are focused on the learning of distributed applications programming with the technologies covered in the subject. These practical activities are in pairs and a report explaining the results must be submitted |
|
Preparation of seminars, work on practical activities and study of theoretical concepts |
Outside the classroom, individually and by groups |
- Preparing seminars and continuation of work done in seminars. Advancing practical activities and writing reports. Study of theoretical concepts for the preparation of seminars, practical activities and written tests. |
Telematic Applications has 4 credits that correspond to 100 hours of time commitment, of which 36 are face-to-face. These 36 hours are divided into lectures (18 hours), medium group sessions (10 hours) and seminar sessions with small groups of students (8 hours). The distribution of hours for units is detailed in the table below.
