Students in this lab develop transparent programs for remote procedure calls over platforms like Sun RPC, and Java RMI. They create threads over Linux environment to build a distributed computing environment over multiple machines in the lab. Students implement logical clocks, and use these to guarantee distributed mutual exclusion. Students also implement their own distributed file systems and distributed schedulers using techniques like mounting, caching, sender initiated load distribution etc.

In the Information Security Lab, students write programs using OpenSSL API over Linux to build secure communication models in a client server environment.
