  REST - lab
  
  REST lab
  Several steps are proposed for the REST lab :
  - Getting started with the microproject
  - Write a client for the emulated visit REST server
  - Write a client and a server for the Vlib bike stations OpenData (optional functionality; to be included in the project if you have time)

  DEBS (1/4)
  
  Distributed Event-Based Systems (1/4)
  - DEBS — Basics (slides 1/3)
  - DEBS with topic-based filtering — Start Lab to discover RabbitMQ
  - Event-based (a.k.a. publish-subscribe) (initiator = provider and adressee = indirect) versus request/reply, callback (a.k.a. observer/observable), anonymous request/reply
  - Architecture of a DEBS system: data distribution with routing overlay and dissemination, data management layer with representation and processing
  - Routing overlay: centralized architecture versus decentralized architecture (flat versus hierarchical)
  - Dissemination: sensor direct access, flooding-based (data flooding or subscription), selection-based (system wide scope versus limited scope), gossip-based
  - EBS service: notification, advertise, subscribe, publish, notify, producer, consumer
  - Notification filtering: channel-based, subject-based (a.k.a. topic-based), type-based, content-based
  - AMQP: message queue, exchange, binding, binding and routing keys, wildcards (/, # and *)
