Description:

Students will study new trends, concepts, and technologies in the area of service-oriented architectures. The will gain an overview of information system architecture, web service architecture and aplication servers. The will also study principles and technologies for middleware focused on application integrations, asynchronous communications and high availability of applications.

This course replaces the course MIE-MDW.
