Presentation Slides

Cloud computing promises to make a significant impact on engineering computing paradigms and application design in a number of important arenas. Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud and subsequent Elastic MapReduce is only one of many providers offering cloud computing.

This talk will provide an overview of common programming methods in the cloud, including MapReduce, Hadoop, and Cascading. Hadoop is an open source implementation of the Google MapReduce processing model which has been widely embraced by startups and established companies like Yahoo! and Amazon. Cascading is another open source project which provides an alternative API to MapReduce, and which allows developers to rapidly create sophisticated applications on the Hadoop platform.
