Develop your own cloud service

Cloud services are taking over more and more functions of traditional applications, such as email or word processing. They are developing into a promising software model for the future due to their ubiquitous accessibility and easy maintainability from a developer's perspective. As part of this project, you will work in a group (2 people) to develop your own cloud service based on the Google App Engine. This Google offering allows you to run (almost) any program written in Java or Python on Google's own infrastructure and thus offers the possibility to make your service available to a practically unlimited number of users. Furthermore, you develop an interface that is easy to use for users. This can be, for example, a website developed with the Google Web Toolkit or a classic application.

As a result of the project, a fully functional cloud service including an interface (e.g. website) is expected.
