Abstract

Large-scale systems pose high demands on computation resources. Where such systems are equipped with a real-time IT infrastructure, one finds distributed sensory systems. For instance, a building structure such as a dike or a skyscraper, with sensors to monitor its health, creates a large-scale system. Typically, complex systems with distributed intelligence are hard to design, test, and maintain by divide-and-conquer. Where design is laborious, schooling is even harder. It is advocated here that cloud-computing provides the required flexibility. Based on this, a teaching format for a cloud-based Master’s course on large-scale systems is introduced.
