Master of Engineering in Distributed Computing
This program provides study of industry standard, internet-based distributed computing technologies and their applications. Students may enter the program at three different levels depending on previous study and background in computing.
This unique program is sponsored by Microsoft and was the first of its kind dedicated to distributed (cloud) computing. It has been designed to provide graduates and professionals with the skills to develop service-orientated, enterprise computing systems and applications that operate in both wired and wireless networks.
The program supports the use of industry standard technologies such as J2EE and .NET.
Nearly half of the course focuses on specialised distributed computing topics such as distributed systems, cluster and grid computing, distributed algorithms, mobile systems programming, sensor networks and web services.
Students will also complete a team project in the design and development of distributed computing technologies and their application in e-science and e-business.
The program is accredited by the Australian Computer Society.

Professor Rajkumar Buyya is the Academic Program Coordinator of the Master of Engineering in Distributed Computing program. Professor Buyya is the Director of the Cloud Computing and Distributed Systems (CLOUDS) Laboratory, and the founding CEO of Manjrasoft Pty Ltd, a spin-off company of the University, commercialising innovations originating from the CLOUDS Lab.
The Master of Engineering in Distributed Computing is designed to provide expertise for developing service-oriented, enterprise computing systems and applications that need to operate in wired/wireless network environments, scaling from single to multiple organisations. Practical project work gives students experience of team-based projects that emphasise the design and development of distributed computing technologies and their application in e-Science and e-Business areas.
