Projects

During the lab classes, students must develop one medium-sized project, working in teams of at most 4 persons

Students will attend the lab and submit the project with their team, at the date they were registered to.

Projects must be written in Java. The lab supervisor may approve using other platforms in special cases. Projects must be designed to deal with all concurrency problems specific to the chosen subject, such as deadlock, livelock, starvation, visibility, etc. Project submission after the deadline leads to penalties.

Project description

The project can be implemented as a local application or a distributed one. The project deadline is Week 12.

Students can choose the specification of projects, which has to be approved by the lab supervisor.

Examples of projects (only partially translated from Romanian, for now):

1. Workflow Simulator
2. Bureaucratic System
3. Messaging Server
4. Strategy game
5. Stock exchange
6. Game of life
