The objective of this course is to introduce new concepts and techniques for developing and engineering advanced services in emerging distributed computing systems including IoT (Internet of Things), software-based and human-based services.  In this course, we will introduce concepts of IoT and cloud platforms for IoT, data-as-a-service, data concerns, data market places and techniques for developing data intensive services by utlizing data services with compute services in cloud environments.  Furthermore, we will investigate human-based services in engineering advanced data analytics and how to combine them with data and compute services.

The course will provide hand-on experiences via real-world exercises and mini programming projects. The course will  provide a great interaction between students and the instructor.
