Description
The objective of this course is to study the interaction between peer-to-peer
(P2P) and Grid computing. Grid computing encompasses high performance
parallel and distributed computing and P2P computing emphasizes
decentralization, often focusing on reliability and scalability. Many
researchers are currently focusing on how P2P services can be employed in a Grid
context. The overall goal is to study current research trends and technologies.
This course will focus on current practices in Grid and P2P computing technologies, including systems, architectures, programming
models, languages and software tools. The course will cover current research
in Grid and P2P computing, and will consist mainly of student-led topic discussions. The course will require students to research and
present 2 to 3 topics and complete one introductory and one more extensive
Grid/P2P programming project.
