Introduction

I forbindelse med avsluttende vurdering benyttes en karakterskala fra A til E for bestått (A er høyeste karakter og E er laveste) og F for ikke bestått.

Recommended preliminary courses

Basic background in computer science and networking.

Learning outcomes

Alle besvarelser vurderes av to interne sensorer. Ekstern sensor deltar i utarbeidelsen av eksamensoppgaver og vurderingskriterier.

Content

The course describes the important enabling technologies of cloud computing, explores state- of-the art platforms and existing services, and examines the challenges and opportunities of adopting cloud computing. Moreover, the course investigates how to protect the critical data increasingly being stored in the cloud. The students learn how to build a security strategy that keeps data safe and mitigates risk.

Teaching and learning methods

The course is part of a series of seminars in which the students actively participate together with members of relevant research groups. The students present papers and listen to paper presentations from other PhD students and staff. The students are also expected to actively critique and challenge fellow participants. The students are provided with a sound foundation in research skills and are naturally integrated into the local research community and its research discourse.

Course requirements

The following required coursework must be approved before the student can take the exam:

  • Three individual oral presentations of assigned publications.
  • Participate as prepared discussant for three presentations by other group members.
  • Independently find and study publications relevant to the research discourse.
  • 80% attendance at seminars.

Assessment

Oral exam, 30 minutes per student.

The oral exam cannot be appealed.

Permitted exam materials and equipment

None.

Grading scale

Pass or fail.

Examiners

Two sensors, one from the teaching staff, the other may be internal or external. External examiner is used periodically.
