          <p>According to a <em>New York Times </em><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/06/business/steve-jobs-of-apple-dies-at-56.html?pagewanted=1&amp;_r=1&amp;hp" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">article</a> Steve Jobs, co-founder and former CEO of Apple, died on Wednesday of complications from pancreatic cancer. He was 56.</p>
          <p>Mr. Jobs’ death occurred just one day after the release of the highly anticipated <a href="http://www.apple.com/iphone/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><strong>iPhone 4S</strong></a>.</p>
          <p>On August 24, 2011, Mr. Jobs resigned as CEO of Apple Inc. because of his illness. “I have always said that if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s C.E.O., I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come,” said Jobs in a letter released by the company.</p>
          <p>An obituary on Apple’s <a href="http://www.apple.com/stevejobs/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">website</a> reads: “Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.”</p>
          <p>To read about Mr. Jobs’ life and his work developing what is now the largest technology company in the world, see the full <em>New York Times</em>   <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/06/business/steve-jobs-of-apple-dies-at-56.html?pagewanted=1&amp;_r=1&amp;hp" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">article</a>.</p>

    <Title>Free Linux installation help at the 2011 UMBC Linux...</Title>

          <div class="html-content">Full Title: Free Linux installation help at the 2011 UMBC Linux Insallfest<p><img alt="" height="308" src="http://www.cs.umbc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/lug_installfest2010.jpg" width="699" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></p>
          <p>Got Linux? If you've ever wanted to try Linux but didn't know where to start, bring your computer to the Linux Installfest this Friday.</p>
          <p>The <a href="http://lug.umbc.edu/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBC Linux Users Group</a> will hold a Linux Install Fest from 10:30am to 4:30pm on Friday 7 October on Main Street in the Commons. Experts from the Linux Users Group will help you install a free copy of Linux on your computer as a multi-boot operating system on your computer. They can help you to ensure that your hardware, including wireless, fingerprint reader, and webcam, is working. At the Fall 2011 installfest, they will be installing Ubuntu version 11.04. If you would like assistance installing a different release or distribution, bring install media.</p>
          <p>If you are bringing a laptop, bring the AC adapter or charger. If you are bringing a desktop, then bring power cables, a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, too. If you will be dual-booting with Windows, please defragment your C: drive before attending the installfest. This increases the maximum size of your Linux partition. Finally, back up your data. The LUG will make all attempts to keep your data intact, but there's always the slim chance that something will go wrong.  See the <a href="http://lug.umbc.edu/installfest.html" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">LUG site</a> for more information.</p>

    <p>Virtualized service models are now emerging and redefining the way information technology (IT) is delivered. Managing these services efficiently over the cloud is an open challenge. For my PhD dissertation research, I have proposed a semantically rich, policy-based framework to automate the lifecycle of cloud services.  In this talk, I will describe the proposed methodology for the lifecycle of IT services delivered on the cloud.  I have divided the IT service lifecycle into five phases of requirements, discovery, negotiation, composition, and consumption and will detail each phase and list the high level ontologies that I have developed for them.  This research complements previous work on ontologies for service descriptions in that it goes beyond simple matchmaking and is focused on supporting negotiation for the particulars of IT services.  I will also describe the web-based prototype system that we are developing in collaboration with NIST. We are using Semantic Web technologies to represent and reason about services and service requirements.</p>
