Course Organization
This course will cover a variety of topics dealing with parallel/distributed, synchronous/asynchronous, theoretical/practical aspects of computing. There is no textbook; I will hand out the relevant materials ahead of the class. I will lecture for the first half of the course, there will be a few guest lecturers and you will lecture for the remaining part. I will lecture on the issues in web services orchestration, workflow and concurrent program composition, and discuss my new project, Orc.

There is no final exam. You have to study a topic and give a lecture. Choose a topic (out of a set I will give) and a date for your lecture.

Please prepare class handouts, including references to relevant literature, before your lecture.

You will be graded by your fellow students on the quality of your presentation and the handout.

Class attendance is mandatory (remember you have to grade all your fellow students).

Your grade depends on your contributions during class discussions and your lecture.
