|---|---|
| THE COURSE INTRODUCES THE FUNDAMENTAL CHARACTERISTICS OF CLOUD COMPUTING, THE ROLE OF ENABLING TECHNOLOGIES, AND PRESENTS THE LAYERED ARCHITECTURE USED FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION. STARTING FROM THE VIRTUALIZATION OF RESOURCES, THE DIFFERENT ARCHITECTURAL CHOICES ARE DISCUSSED, AS THE COMPONENTS FOR THEIR MANAGEMENT IN THE DIFFERENT LEVELS AND THE TOOLS AVAILABLE FOR THEIR IMPLEMENTATION. FINALLY, THE ASPECTS RELATED TO SECURITY, VULNERABILITIES ANALYSIS, AVAILABLE COUNTERMEASURES, AND RELATED TOOLS FOR THEIR IMPLEMENTATION ARE PRESENTED AND COMPARED. THE LABORATORY PART REQUIRES THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A CLOUD SOLUTION FOR A SECURE APPLICATION BASED ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNIQUES. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING UNDERSTANDING OF ADVANCED ASPECTS OF COMPUTER ARCHITECTURES, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO DISTRIBUTED ARCHITECTURES AND CLOUD COMPUTING. KNOWLEDGE OF CLOUD COMPUTING PLATFORMS, VIRTUALIZATION AND CYBERSECURITY TECHNOLOGIES APPLIED KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT A SECURE CLOUD SOLUTION USING OPEN-SOURCE TOOLS. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION: STRENGTHS AND LIMITS OF THE PROPOSED SOLUTION. |
| Prerequisites | |

|---|---|
| THE COURSE INCLUDES THEORETICAL LECTURES AND LABORATORY ACTIVITIES. IN THE LATTER, STUDENTS ACQUIRE MASTERY OF THE TOOLS INTRODUCED IN THE LECTURE TO BE USED FOR THE FINAL PROJECT ASSIGNED TO EACH SMALL GROUP OF STUDENTS. THE PROJECT INCLUDES SELECTED CONTENT FROM THE LECURRES FOR THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A SECURE CLOUD COMPUTING SOLUTION. IT IS INSTRUMENTAL TO THE ACQUISITION, IN ADDITION TO THE SPECIFIC SKILLS, OF THE ABILITY TO WORK IN A TEAM, TO PRESENT THE PROJECT ACTIVITIES IN WRITTEN FORM, AND TO PRESENT AND DISCUSS THE STRENGTHS AND LIMITATIONS OF THE PROJECT COMPLETED. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| THE FINAL EVALUATION IS BY ORAL EXAMINATION AND THE PRESENTATION OF THE PROJECT. THE GRADE IS THE WEIGHTED SUM OF PROJECT CONTENT (50%), PROJECT PRESENTATION (20%) AND ORAL EXAMINATION (30%) |
