CMSC 668 - Service Oriented Computing

[3]

This course addresses the revolutionary concepts of service-oriented architectures (SOA) and Cloud Computing for web service applications arising in science, engineering and commerce. Service oriented computing is a style of loosely coupled multi-tier computing that helps organizations share logic and data among multiple applications and usage modes. The basic suite of web service protocols are presented for invoking autonomic computer-to-computer interactions. A brief introduction to parallel computing principles and languages such as MPI and the Cloud Computing Map Reduce paradigm will be presented. High-end clusters will be available for student projects as well as a tiled hyperwall for visualization services.
Prerequisite: Prerequisites: CMSC 341 & CMSC 421.
