| Course description |
This course is aimed at providing students with the skills and knowledge allowing them to carry out a close analysis of a domain problem and develop (data- or compute-centred) services to address it which can be presented by a number of methods (web portals, web services, etc). In addition to covering basic service technologies it will study techniques for understanding domain problems and decomposing them into models for automation (eg. workflows). This will lead into the basics of understanding &«knowledge-based&ª services using semantic web technologies. A basic knowledge of Java will be required for some of the material in this course, and while the knowledge that students would gain in either Web Programming (P03112) or Computing with Distributed Resources (P03113) would provide a good background to this course, neither is a pre-requisite for it. |

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
On completion of this course, the student should be able to:
1. Demonstrate an understanding of the state-of-the-art in developing stateful applications for distributed systems.
2. Show an appreciation of the mechanisms, such as workflows, available to support users in composing activities to support solutions for complex tasks.
3. Demonstrate knowledge of distributed systems based on domain knowledge, as developed by the Semantic Web and Web 2.0 communities.
