Introduction:
 

Prerequisite: Computer Network, Algorithm, Programming, Database

Aims and Requirements: This is a major course for postgraduates from computer science and technology. The course involves the academic thoughts and science issues, key technologies and practices, related commercial form and service model, challenges and application prospects and so on. Through the classroom instruction and hands-on experiment, the students are expected to know: (1) The fundamentals of cloud computing, including resources conformity model and Massive data memory model and MapReduce programming model and service seal method. (2) Distributed file system and NoSQL databases. (3) Deployment and application of open source virtualized platform Xen. (4) Deployment, application and development of open source system Hadoop. (5) Application and development technologies of SaaS, including multi-renters, deployment, and extension. (6) Service model of S3 and Salesforce. After this course, the students can improve their capability of understanding, summary and analysis of cloud computing fundamentals, of cloud computing service development and open source application deployment practice. A firm specialized foundation can be built for the research and application in related field in the future.
