Computer Science – Cloud Computing

This course gives students an overview of the field of Cloud Computing, its enabling technologies, the various service modules — Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service 169 (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), and the main building blocks of cloud systems. Students will gain hands-on experience through projects utilizing public cloud infrastructures (e.g., Amazon Elastic Cloud, Microsoft’s Azure, and Google App Engine). Specifically, students will learn how to develop cloud-based software applications on top of various cloud platforms and also how to integrate application-level services that are built on heterogeneous cloud platforms into existing systems.
