| Course Organization | This course will
cover Orc, my
research project. Orc
provides powerful
primitives for web services orchestration, workflow and concurrent program
composition. The home page of
Orc is at http://orc.csres.utexas.edu
. I will cover the language and theory of Orc, its implementation and potential uses in developing applications.
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. There is no final exam. You will have to do a project, write a report and give a lecture. Choose a topic (out of a set I will give) and a date for your lecture. 1. Please prepare class handouts, including references to relevant literature, before your lecture. 2. You will be graded by your fellow students on the quality of your presentation and the handout. 3. Class attendance is mandatory (remember you have to grade all your fellow students). 4. Your grade depends on your contributions during class discussions and your lecture, as well as the quality of work in your project. |
