Cloud Mobile Computing Overview This course covers cloud mobile computing principles and concepts. It includes related issues from both technical and operational perspectives. Technical issues include virtualization, broad network access, resource pooling, and rapid elasticity. Operational issues include both service and deployment models as well as the relationship between capital and operational expenses. Related issues include the Internet of Everything, Big Data, and Mobility. Learning Objectives At the end of this course, you will be able to: 1. Articulate how hardware independence, virtualization, clustering, networking and data centers relate to cloud computing 2. Compare and contrast Type 1 and Type 2 hypervisors. 3. Compare and contrast direct attached storage, network attached storage, and storage area networks. 4. List and explain related technologies including big data and the Internet of Everything (IoE). 5. Explain common wireless communication principles and standards. 6. Compare and contrast Cloud Service models (IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS.) 7. Explain the impact of cloud computing on IT service management. 8. Compare and contrast capital and operational expenses. Explain the impact of Cloud Computing on each. 9. Explain how the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) relates to Cloud Computing. 10. Explain how cloud impacts business continuity and disaster recovery planning. 11. Identify cloud security challenges including risks, threats and mitigation strategies. 12. Explain what Michael Porter means by the Internet of Everything.

Texts to be supplemented with selections from Academic Journals and related sources. Grading Final grades determined through a weighted average that is projected to include examinations, portfolios, related assignments and projects. Exam(s)/Quizzes 70% Assignment Portfolio/Activities 15% Learning Portfolio/Projects 15% Projects, Assignments, and Activities Class participation, that is, the active engagement in questions and answers, taking part in analyses, and contribution of comments, is expected from all students. In class, there may be participatory assignments. Only students present in class can participate in the participatory assignments. Class Attendance Attendance is expected at all class meetings. Each class may have a participatory activity. Since students not present cannot participate, they cannot make up these activities. Exams As specified in the class schedule, there will be multiple exams. Students that take all exams will have their lowest exam grade dropped. A student that misses an exam will not have their lowest exam grade dropped. Note since makeup exams are not an option, anyone that is not confident of being present for the scheduled exams should consider dropping. While make up exams are not an option, taking an exam in advance may be an option. Note also that students are expected to be on time for exams.
Class Interruptions During class, mobile phones and pagers must have their audible alarms turned off. Failure to observe this rule can have a negative impact.
