CS 7412 - [Scalable Distributed Consistency: Models and Applications]


     
Spring. 4 credits.

Staff.

The emergence of massive cloud computing systems and large enterprise computing solutions provides a serious challenge: the most popular ways of scaling a system abandon consistency guarantees. Yet many applications (e.g. medical, financial) make sense only if we can prove that they do exactly what they should do. Students in this research-oriented course read papers on consistency mechanisms with a goal of understanding what forms of consistency matter and what options make sense in largescale systems. Students present papers, must participate in discussions, and submit weekly written summaries of the papers and their key findings.
