To: All Graduate Students, As we reach the end of Fall 2023, I want to bring to your attention a course that I will be teaching this coming Spring 2024: EEL6761 - Cloud Computer Systems and Applications. It covers the foundational knowledge and practical techniques needed to design cloud computing systems. The abbreviated syllabus for EEL6761 is available at https://www.acis.ufl.edu/eel6761-syllabus-abbreviated/ . While the pre-requisite course is either EEL 5737 or EEL 5764, you may be able to take this course if you already have appropriate knowledge or experience on software programming and computer systems.   If you have not taken any of the prerequisite courses but are interested in taking EEL6761 in Spring 2024 you can contact me by email ( fortes@ufl.edu ). Please include in your message a list of relevant graduate and undergraduate courses you have taken and a short description of your programming experience (including languages that you master and a 2-line description of

I am the Chair of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Stetson University, a small teaching-focused university in DeLand, Florida.  Our department is presently looking to fill a tenure track position in Fall 2024.  The position is quite flexible with respect to teaching and research interests and carries a 3-3 teaching load.  Our classes are small, typically fewer than 20 students, and we work closely with our students.  Every student in our program works one-on-one with our faculty on a year-long senior research program, often leading to co-published conference papers.  I am writing to you to ask if you have students graduating from your PhD computer science (or closely related field such as cybersecurity) program who may be interested?  The position is posted at https://www.stetson.edu/administration/human-resources/media/2024faculty/TT_ComputerScience_recruiting_announcement_2023.pdf .   If you feel that any of your graduating students may be interested in applying,
