Objectives
THE EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE IS TO PRESENT THE BASIC CONCEPTS OF CLOUD COMPUTING, WITH THE IAAS, PAAS, SAAS SERVICE MODELS, THEN FOCUSING ON SERVERLESS COMPUTING AND FAAS (FUNCTION AS A SERVICE). IN THIS SERVICE MODEL THE DESIGNER WRITES THE FUNCTIONS TO BE PERFORMED ON THE CLOUD PLATFORM WITHOUT ANY SERVERS TO BE INSTALLED, BUT LEAVING THE TASK OF EXECUTION AND AUTOMATIC SCALABILITY TO THE CLOUD PLATFORM. THE SERVICE MODEL OF SERVERLESS COMPUTING IS PARTICULARLY SUITED TO THE MANAGEMENT OF APPLICATIONS BASED ON IOT SENSOR NETWORKS, BY DIRECTLY PROGRAMMING THE FUNCTIONS THAT ARE CALLED BY EVENTS TRIGGERED BY THE MESSAGES SENT BY THE SENSORS.

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING

-CLOUD COMPUTING: MOTIVATIONS AND SERVICE MODELS (IAAS, PAAS, SAAS). SERVERLESS COMPUTING: MOTIVATION AND FUNCTIONING. DESIGN OF SIMPLE SERVERLESS APPLICATIONS BASED ON DIFFERENT PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES THROUGH AMAZON LAMBDA FUNCTIONS. IOT PROGRAMMING ON THE CLOUD. THE AWS IOT ENVIRONMENT. PROGRAMMING ON EDGE THROUGH AWS GREENGRASS.

ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
-IMPLEMENTATION OF SIMPLE IOT APPLICATIONS ON SIMULATORS AND IOT DEDICATED EQUIPMENT, ON AWS IOT. PROGRAMMING OF EDGE DEVICES VIA AWS GREENGRASS
Prerequisites
THE STUDENT MUST HAVE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE ON THE ARCHITECTURE OF NETWORKS AND TCP / IP PROTOCOLS AND CLIENT/SERVER PROGRAMMING. THE STUDENT MUST ALSO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT PROGRAMMING EXPERIENCE IN JAVA AND C AND OPERATING SYSTEMS, AND MUST BE ABLE TO USE PROFICUOSULY AN INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT.

Teaching Methods
THE COURSE CONSISTS OF TWO PARTS. THE FIRST PART IS FOUNDATIONAL (8 CFU 40 ORE), DEALING WITH THE PRINCIPLES OF CLOUD COMPUTING AND OF INTERNET OF THINGS AND WHERE SERVERLESS COMPUTING IS INTRODUCED. A SECOND PART OF THE COURSE IS MORE PRACTICAL (1 CFU 8L) AND WILL CONSISTS IN USING AMAZON WEB SERVICE IOT PLATFORM
Verification of learning

SIX EXAM SESSIONS DURING THE WHOLE ACADEMIC YEAR, IN ADDITION TO THREE SPECIAL ONES RESERVED TO STUDENTS WHO LACK A FEW EXAMS FOR THEIR DEGREE. EACH SESSION IS PROVIDED WITH A PROJECT TEST (THAT MUST BE COMPLETED WITHIN A MONTH) AND AN ORAL TEST. THE RESULTING MARK IS CALCULATED USING A WEIGHTED AVERAGE OF THE TWO TEST MARKS.
