Cloud Computing

Catalog description

In a seminar format, explore a number of the underlying technologies, business models, and innovations underpinning current widespread deployment of 'cloud' computing systems, services, and applications. Each student will be expected to choose a relevant subject, identify appropriate advance readings for the class, and lead one discussion on topics of interest to the group. There will be a project component to the course; some projects may be in the form of literature reviews and papers, others will involve practical experience creating and deploying a useful service or application in a cloud environment.
