IBM Cloud Hackathon

Dear Hackers,

IBM builds its cloud offerings on open standards to ensure interoperability
and accelerate clients' success with cloud.

To promote awareness and development of skills relevant for this platform,
IBM University Relations program brings to you "Cloud Hackathon" an
opportunity to Learn, add some cool skills to your resume, compete and win
some exciting prizes and opportunity to work with IBMers on interesting
Open Cloud projects.

The hackathon is based on Cloud Foundry & Opscode Chef. We launched the
contest on 21st Jan and are accepting entries for Phase 1 until 16th Feb.
Phase 1 of the contest requires students to only submit ideas. So register
first with a simple 2-3 line idea and IBMers will be available to help &
guide you all along the way
To REGISTER for the hackathon click here:
http://university-relations.in/wps/portal/cloudcontest

If hackers have questions about the hackathon or want help to brainstorm
ideas, we have an Ideation session that will take place on Thu, 13th Feb at
5:30 pm

We would like to invite students from your esteemed institute to
participate enthusiastically.

   Did you ever try setting up a load balanced, high availability Apache
      Server cluster OR a MySQL Cluster. These are time consuming tasks
      requiring good amount of expertise in system administration,
      installation and configuration. And this is a candidate for
      automation using Opscode chef, take a look at 100s of such automation
      artifacts (recipes / cookbooks) here -
      http://community.opscode.com/cookbooks and cook up your idea around
      Opscode Chef Automation for the "Cloud Hackathon"
         some examples include
               Email / Instant Messaging platforms & servers like : IRC,
                  Horde
               Appservers like Apache, WebSphere Community Edition,
                  possibly with High Availability, in Cluster or Load
                  Balanced
               Databases like MySQL, Cloudscape with High Availability, in
                  Cluster or Load Balanced
               Automation to do the hardening of OS Instances to make it
                  secure
   Composition services in the PaaS platform like Cloud Foundry are
      essentials and will soon become very basic expectation of the
      application developer to have them available from the platform. For
      example mail and messaging, or GPS/motion tracking, reservations and
      more.. So, think of cooking up a killer composition service on Cloud
      Foundry as your idea for the "Cloud Hackathon"

Once your ideas are submitted and pass through the Phase 1 of the contest,
we will help you to develop them for the Phase 2 of the contest.  IBM
mentors will help and guide you throughout the Phase 2 of the hackathon

1st International Conference on Intelligent Cloud Computing 2014 (ICC 2014) in Oman - 24 & 25 Feb. at GUtech

BARKA Cloud technology has become ubiquitous for smart phone users and for large data applications in the past decade. The Computer Science Department of the German University of Technology in Oman (GUtech) will organise the 1^st International Conference on Intelligent Cloud Computing 2014 (ICC 2014) in Oman. The conference will be held from 24-25 February at GUtech in Halban and is sponsored by Omantel and the Information Technology Authority (ITA). 

"Increasing integration across multiple types of computing infrastructure and deployment of services across such infrastructure lead to significant design, development and management challenges. Cloud computing is a recent development, that started a few years ago. Nearly all our data is stored on different virtual so called clouds of software companies based in different countries around the world. However, there is a risk regarding the security of that large data storage," said Professor Dr. Rudolf Fleischer, Head of the Department of Computer Science (CS) and main organizer of the conference. The objective of the conference is to bring together researchers, practitioners and developers working with cloud systems and intelligent systems. 
During the conference, a variety of intelligent mechanisms and techniques will be presented that may be used to develop advanced cloud systems, solutions and services that offer new fonctionalities. "Adding intelligent systems to cloud computing systems will make them more adaptive, flexible, and autonomous in resource management and service quality when running large-scale applications," said Prof. Dr. Nabil Sahli, Associate Professor at the Department of Computer Science at GUtech. 
The first day of the conference will be keynote presentations and scientific contributions, while the second day will include tutorials on cloud computing. "Anyone interested in computing is welcome to attend the tutorials, they are free of charge", said Prof. Nabil. For more information about the conference and registration, please see the conference website at http://staff.gutech.edu.om/ICC2014

Research Associate/Assistant in Event Detection and Prediction for Decision Support in Social Media

The Department of Computer Science of The University of Sheffield (OAK Group) has a position for ResearchAssistant/ Associate in Event Detection and Prediction for Decision Support in Social Media. The position is supported by the externally funded EPPICS research project, supported by the European Commission as part of FP7. EPPICS is a multi-site, multi-disciplinary project involving researchers and industrial partners in big data analysis, web technologies, event and emergency management. The project aims to support decision makers such as City Councils in managing planned (i.e. city-wide music festivals) and unplanned events (i.e. large emergencies like floods) by gathering and processing large-scale information from physical and social sensors and enabling decision making in real-time.

In the project, we have specific responsibilities for work on the development of methods for large scale processing of social media (e.g. Twitter, Facebook, etc.) and physical sensor input (e.g. traffic sensors), techniques for semantic enrichment of messages and the automated identification and prediction of both events and their potential evolution. Moreover, we will work on methodologies and technologies for data filtering, contextual exploration and prediction.  Sheffield is also coordinating the UK case study on event management based in the City of Bristol.

The role will require the post holder to undertake research, development, experimental design and data collection relating to methods for large-scale processing of social media and sensor input, as well as techniques for semantic enrichment of high volumes of messages.

The post is fixed-term for 25 months, in the first instance. 

Closing date: 5 March 2014

Start date: as soon as possible and no later than August 2014.
