Objectives
Basic Skills Knowledge and understanding that provide a basis or opportunity for originality in developing and / or applying ideas, often in a research context Students must possess the learning skills that enable them to continue studying in a way that will be largely self-directed or autonomous. General Competencies Apply the fundamentals of software and hardware to meet the necessary technologies for the collection, storage, processing and reporting, especially for large volumes of data as a basis for the development and adaptation of such techniques to specific problems Specific Skills Apply knowledge of programming which to base the teaching of advanced technologies and methods for treating large volumes of data. Know the main technologies used to build big data systems, and the main characteristics of them. Use the basic results of work stoppage and distribution of advanced methods as a basis for prediction and classification Learning Results -Use Of programming techniques in the design and analysis of data processing methods - Ability to apply advanced technology to data processing - Knowledge and use of basic concepts of parallel and distributed programming, algorithm design and storage systems for the development of data processing applications
