+====== Distributed and Mobile Programming Paradigms ======
-==== About ====
+===== About =====
-This site covers the lab sessions for the Distributed and Mobile Programming Paradigms course.
+This site covers the lab sessions for the **Distributed and Mobile Programming Paradigms** course ( replacing the [[http://soft.vub.ac.be/~egonzale/wiki/doku.php?id=sdms | Software Distribution and Mobility Seminar]].
-In each session, students implement small applications in the AmbientTalk distributed programming language.
+The aim of the lab sessions is twofold. First, students put in practice some of the concepts about distributed programming paradigms seen at the theory class. Second, students get familiar with AmbientTalk, the distributed programming language used for the project.
-The exercises start from the basics of the AmbientTalk language and gradually introduce how to program distributed applications running on mobile devices.
-During these exercises, students apply the concepts seen in the seminar part of the course to software development. For example, they get hands-on experience with guards, asynchronous message passing, distributed programming with tuple spaces, and peer-to-peer networks.
+In each session, students implement a small application or a subset of an application in AmbientTalk. The idea is to incrementally implement the application starting from a skeleton code.
-They also deploy some of their application on real devices such as Android phones.
+The exercises start from the basics of the AmbientTalk language and gradually introduce how to use concurrent and distributed programing abstractions such guards, asynchronous message passing, distributed programming with tuple spaces, and peer-to-peer networks.
+They also deploy some of their applications on real devices such as Android phones and tablets.
