Course Title: Distributed and Cloud Computing

Course Code: UMDCOM303

Programme: BSc (Hons) Computing

Credits: 20.00

Course Description:

Rationale

With the growth of the Internet computing-based devices are no longer isolated from each other.  That devices may range from a classical desktop computer through to a kitchen refrigerator.  Indeed, with the Internet-of-Everything there is no need to constrain the interactions possible. Within the degree pathway topics such as software design and security, networking, multimedia, cloud and Internet technologies have been explored; when devices are related this module is the means of tying them together.

Aims

Through the completion of this module students will gain:

  1. An understanding of the growing networking environment within which distributed systems (operating systems, services and applications) exist and therefore the need for distributed systems 
  2. The ability to identify the appropriate design strategy for a given scenario
  3. An understanding of the operation of distributed systems
     

Learning Outcomes


On successful completion of this module, a student will have:

  1. demonstrated a conceptual understanding of the need for distributed systems (operating systems, services and applications) and the principles upon which they are based
  2. after analysis and enquiry deployed accurately the appropriate architecture for a given situation
  3. demonstrated a comprehensive knowledge and systematic understanding of distributed system structure, operation and behaviour
