Cloud computing offers scalable computing resources on-demand, providing solutions and challenges for science and business. Amongst others, the opportunities include a low-cost entry point for small companies, more economical use of computing resources, and the capability of handling very large data sets.
Challenges for practitioners include the design and use of suitable algorithms, the design and implementation of suitable architectures, and understanding of risks and opportunities. This MSc will provide a sound understanding of designing, analyzing, and engineering systems for handling big data in a distributed environment based on dynamically scalable architectures.
