Searching The Cloud - The eclipseRT UmbrellaMarkus Knauer
The emerging Cloud infrastructures offer new ways to develop dynamic services. Eclipse can contribute to these new services today by combining results from various projects. This talk will demonstrate how to set up a simple search application in the Cloud with the help of the following eclipseRT and Eclipse Technology projects:
* g-Eclipse will be used to manage and configure the virtual Cloud resources based on its general Cloud model.
* p2 will be used to deploy the search application.
* SMILA (SeMantic Information Logistics Architecture) is an extensible framework for building search applications for data like office documents, emails, images, audio & video files, blogs etc. One of the features of SMILA is the parallelization of processes/workflows, so the natural deployment environment of SMILA is similar to the distributed environment of the Cloud.
* RAP will be used to create a simple search-UI for the application.
This talk demonstrates existing goodies from Eclipse projects which can help to build Cloud applications independent from underlying infrastructures. It will show the potential power of Eclipse technology on the Cloud.
Preparing for Today's Job Market - The InterviewSusanne Markgren
Congratulations, you got an interview... now what?! During this workshop we'll look at what to expect when interviewing at different types of libraries: academic, special, and public. We'll discuss both remote and in-person interviews, and talk about the importance of doing your research, preparing questions for your interviewers, and showing confidence and personality during your interview. We will talk about, and critique, interview-appropriate attire, as well as give you tips on staying comfortable while looking professional. We will work on developing your elevator pitch, and practice answering the most commonly asked interview questions. And, finally, we will provide advice on how to follow up after the interview. Throughout, we'll emphasize how to go beyond the qualifications listed on your resume in order to show a potential employer that you are the right candidate for the job.

Why you decided to take this class
“Decisions are the essence of
management. They’re what
managers do—sit around all
day making (or avoiding)
decisions. Managers are judged
on the outcomes, and most of
them—most of us—have only
the foggiest idea how we do
what we do.”

Decision Making: Two Questions
• Why is decision making difficult?
• What constitutes a good decision?
Decision Making: Good Process
• What is a decision?
– A costly commitment to a course of action.
• Outcomes versus Process

Components of a Good Decision
• I have considered my ABCs
– Alternatives
– Beliefs
– Consequences
• I am devoting an appropriate amount of
resources
• I have avoided major decision traps
Decision Making Components: The ABCs
• Alternatives
– Identification and articulation
– Construction/refinement
• Beliefs
– Identification and quantification of uncertainties
– Information collection/gathering
• Consequences
– Identification of consequences (and objectives
addressed by consequences)
– When possible, quantification of tradeoffs among
objectives

Decision Making: Good Process
• Putting it all together (for now)…
Good decision making is choosing the
alternative that best meets your objectives
in the face of uncertainty about what
consequences will ensue.
3 Perspectives on Decision Making
• Normative
– How should people make decisions?
Related concepts: rational; optimizing; forward-looking
• Descriptive
– How do people make decisions?
Related concepts: boundedly rational; limited cognitive capacity;
heuristics or rule-based; myopic
• Prescriptive
– How can we help people make better decisions?

Example
• Problem
– Imagine two 1-mile-long (1.61km) pieces of railroad track, put
end to end, and attached to the ground at the extremes.
When it gets hot, each piece of track expands by 1 inch
(2.54cm), forcing the pieces to rise above the ground where
they meet in the middle.
How high will the track be in the middle?
• Normative rule:
– Pythagorean Theorem:
• Descriptive reality:
– Most people underestimate x. (We anchor on 1 inch.)
• Prescription:
– Use normative rule (geometry). Don’t rely on intuition.
More Examples
• Normative rule:
– Lighter objects should
be judged as lighter.
• Descriptive reality:
– Sometimes our vision
tricks us.
• Prescription:
– Use an outside reference
or instrument
– Note: Pilots have specific
strategies for
counteracting visual
illusions

12. Work Ethic
• The #1 complaint we get about our interns?
– They aren’t proactive enough.
• So what does that mean for you?
– Don’t be timid or apathetic!
– Actively come up with ideas and pitch them!
– Be proactive in seeking out something to do
• Especially if you’re bored or not given enough responsibility
13. Work Ethic
• And another thing, be punctual!
• This means showing up to work on time or early.
• It also means that if you need to miss work
because of illness or personal reasons, do your
best to get permission ahead of time and always
notify your supervisor.
14. Work Ethic
• Remember, you’re getting course credit for
your internship so you should be learning and
gaining meaningful experience.
• Let us know before the end of the semester if
circumstances at your internship change and
you are no longer being utilized the way you
think you should be.
15. Appearance
• Make sure you are dressed appropriately for your
work environment.
• A good rule of thumb is to look around you and see
what everyone else is wearing. Then dress one notch
above that.
– Ex: Casual for them = Business Casual for you
16. Conclusion
• If you ever have questions or need help, contact me.
– Phone: 512-471-1101

• This is especially true if you’re unhappy with the way
your internship is turning out or if circumstances
have changed.
• We can’t help if we don’t know something is wrong.
