| Karl- Hayo Siemsen: | Enterprise Java Beans and high availability | 12 hrs (1 ECTS) |
Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs) is a three tier architecture: one tier is the frontend, one the backend (database) and one the middleware. This form of architecture is relatively save against external attacks from viruses or worms or Trojan horses or denial of service. The architecture has some cost advantages too not in terms of coding, but on the client side, which can be outsourced with respect to maintenance.
Around this framework we installed a forth tier for high availability with java RMI services in a network. The applications are able to run automatically on different computers. If one computer is shut down or unavailable during runtime, the application will be started on a different computer. The distribution of applications to requesting clients has the high availability property too. So the client will have his application running if some of the computers in the distributed environment fail.
We will try to use this architecture in distributed measurement techniques.

| José Miguel Andonegi Martínez: | ERP systems: the information system of the enterprise |
From the first computing pioneers that developed the first MRP system back in the 60s to the expanded enterprise management, several generations of software have been developed, implemented and abandoned, always pursuing a better management, control, communication and knowledge.
The historical development of the software and the underlying management philosophy can help to understand better the mess of terms and ‘innovations’ we can find nowadays.
But ERP-s are not only software. Implementation projects are the most frightening ghost for companies managers. Critical Factors for Success and success and failure cases will be subject of analysis for a better comprehension of the risks to be faced and the benefits an enterprise can achieve.

This course deals with the following three themes:
1) introduction to catalysis,
2) sources and effects of harmful emissions, and
3) catalytic control of emissions.
The last topic forms the main and the most significant part of the course (current approaches, process improvements, new catalytic processes, new opportunities by catalytic technologies and the use of catalysts in primary and secondary pollution prevention).
The lectures will cover the following areas:
Introduction to environmental catalysis, Sources of harmful emissions; Control of air emissions from stationary and mobile sources, Catalytic control of emissions (primary and secondary techniques), Abatement of NOx, SOx, VOCs, and CO2 emissions, Odour control, Reduction of greenhouse effect, ozone depletion, and acid rains, Green chemistry approach and catalysis, Eco-efficient processes and process design, Catalysis in water and waste water treatment, and Soil treatments by catalysis.
