MOC-based Cloud Computing Course Concludes with Project Demos

Orran Krieger, Professor of Electrical & Computer Engineering and Project Lead for the Massachusetts Open Cloud (MOC)  and Peter Desnoyers, Professor of Computer Science at Northeastern University, also of the MOC team, co-taught a new Cloud Computing class (EC500/CS591) in Spring 2015. The course achieved several key objectives including workforce training in cloud computing technologies, a model to engage industry partners in projects they mentor, and as a way to prototype key technologies needed for the MOC. Culminating in a Finals Demo Session, students gathered to present projects  ranging from applications running on top of cloud software to those modifying the architecture itself.
