For this project in the (Advanced Computer Networks) course, you may pick a system/language you like, design the project, implement it, and write a project report about it.

This project is related with the Readers and writers. Two types of users, Readers and Writers, can access a shared file. The file is allowed to be read by many readers simultaneously, but to be written by a single writer at a time when no reader is reading.

In this project, you are asked to solve the readers and writers problem by using the clientserver model and a kind of communication facility. Your program consists of several clients (readers and writers), a file access authorization server, and a shared file bank server. Clients may read/write different files or share a single file.

Before a client being able to access a file from the shared file bank server, it must first communicate with the authorization server to get a ticket (an encrypted permission which can be decrypted only by the shared file bank server).

The file access authorization server receives requests from clients and manipulates up to N different files.

The request message involves the following fields: the ID of the client, the type of the request (R/W), and the name of the file that the client wants to access. A transaction of accessing a file from a client is as follows:

• send REQ Message: request to the authorization server

• block_receive: waiting for a ticket

• send read/write (data) and ticket: request to the file bank server

• block_receive: waiting for data or ACK

• send REL Message: release to authorization server

• loop for certain times

You should test your program by different cases. For example, suppose your system manipulate five files A, B, C, D and E. One possible test case is to start with 30 clients that randomly access (with 30 percent of writers) a randomly selected file. Each client repeat 100 times. You should design at least 5 different test cases and you should use at least 3 computers to run your project.

Project Report: the report is a short report (2-4 pages) for what your project will be. It should contain a problem description and motivation, a description of the design of your solution, a description of your implementation, and an evaluation of how well your system solved the original problem.
