Description of Module Assessment

1: Coursework weighted 100%
Design and implementation of a cloud-based application
Design and implement a cloud-based application which ensures secure access. Create a technical report covering the features implemented, evaluating the design choices made, in relation to specific characteristics of cloud computing and related enabling technologies. Provide a critical evaluation of performance relative to conventional solutions. The technical report is equivalent to approximately 2500-3000 words. Formatting guidelines will be provided.
