  <description><![CDATA[The UMBC Ebiquity Lab is hosting the November meeting of the Lotico Central Maryland Semantic Web Meetup from 6:00-8:00 pm in room 456 of the ITE building (directions).  All are welcome.  If you want to attend, please join the  Central MD Semantic Web Meetup group and RSVP.  The meeting will start with a pizza social from 6:00pm to 6:45pm and then continue with a series of short presentations of current Semantic Web research being done in our lab.

  <description><![CDATA[Managing virtualized services efficiently over the cloud is an open challenge.  We propose a semantically rich, policy-based framework to automate the lifecycle of cloud services. We have divided the IT service lifecycle into the five phases of requirements, discovery, negotiation, composition, and consumption. We detail each phase and describe the high level ontologies that we have developed to describe them. Our research complements previous work on ontologies for service descriptions in t...]]></description>

Current research is focused on specific issues of Virtualized Services like Service Discovery, composition etc. In this talk I will review the existing research that is being conducted in this new field, especially in developing Service methodology and measuring service quality.

  <description><![CDATA[In computer science, policies are rules and
constraints that govern the behavior of software agents. The use of
policies makes systems more flexible by separating the declarative
components of the system from its implementation. Policies are usually
expressed in a readable declarative language that can be understood by
a human. Policy based security model defines rules for access control,
authorization, and authentication of software objects and entities,
and can be greatly beneficia...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[ Delivery of IT Service is moving away from a single provider mode, and is increasingly based on the composition of multiple services and assets (technological, human, or process) that may be supplied by one or more service providers distributed across the network – in the cloud. Moreover, a single service could be a part of many composite services as needed. The service, in effect, is virtualized on the cloud.

  <description><![CDATA[Autonomous agentic AI systems driven by Large Language Models (LLMs) introduce a new class of security, privacy, and compliance challenges: an agent that can invoke tools, manipulate data, install software, and coordinate with peer agents across organizational boundaries must be constrained not just by authentication and access control, but by the full structure of enterprise governance. This includes specifying what agents are permitted and prohibited from doing, what they are obliged to do ...]]></description>

Semantically integrating those systems is essential for businesses to achieve both. To do so, businesses must rely on standards, the most important of which are data exchange standards (DES). DES focus on technical and business semantics that are needed to deliver quality and timely products and services. Consequently, the ability for businesses to quickly use and...]]></description>
