Overview

This is a hands on project-intensive immersive course aimed at senior-level undergraduates and graduate students to give them an in-depth experience in developing different layers of a cloud computing infrastructure including software defined networks, distributed runtime systems, network function virtualization, and application development.

The course is organized into four project-driven modules (roughly equal duration):

  1. Software Defined Networks (SDN)
  2. Cloud System Software
  3. Network Function Virtualization
  4. Cloud Applications

Each module is organized as discussion of the technical details pertaining to that topic (from selected readings from research papers and other online resources).

Note that this course will have weekly 90-minute synchronous meetings that must be attended.

More information is available on the CS 6211 course website.
