Advancing Cloud Computing Strategies: IEEE Computer Society's Sub-Strategy Overview

1. IEEE Computer SocietyCloud ComputingFuture Technologies Sub-Strategy • Irena Bojanova • Chair, Cloud ComputingFuture Technologies Sub-Strategy, IEEE CS

2. Agenda – June 27, 2012 • Introduction • Updates • Status by Group • Conferences • Standards • Education • Publishing • Body of Knowledge • Web Portal • Newsletter • Testbed http://techsol.tnlexperts.com/2012/02/05/cloud-computing/

3. Updates • CS Volunteers Blog – Volunteers started approaching me: http://computersocietyvolunteerblog.computer.org/2012/06/18/introducing-the-cs-cloud-computing-special-technical-community/ • Working Area –Theresa McNeill • Provide ID to Theresa to be get access • Need to have functionality for volunteers to join • Work Area vs. Web Portal?

4. Status – All • Define Scope: (1) Novel applications -best practices, case studies, common APIs; (2) Get info from CLOUD keynotes - security expert + testbeds • Cloud computing service/deployment/architecture models • Service ecosystems • High performance computing • Big data • Cloud based mobility • Determine customer needs, prioritize, get the bigger ones done first ->Chris will share results • Determine which activities will support IEEE CCI; Which are only ours Note: We need to provide information and education through ED activities, WP, BoK, NL; for that: (1) find volunteers from CF,PB, ST; (2) Determine CC assets and how to grow these assets

5. Conferences • PavanBalaji(GL) • Jia Zhang • Carrie Walsh (SE) • Carmen Saliba(SE) • Get the Amazon contact from CLOUD hands on activities – Jia(share with Testbed group) • Start recruiting volunteers from conferences • Tag assets – 41 CS CC conferences – Carrie and Pavanshare with Web Portal group)

6. Technical Sponsorship Request

7. Standards • Chuck Walrad (GL) • Phil LaPlante • Anne Marie Kelly (SE) • Determine CS volunteers on Cloud standards projects (12/112 and 8/134 acting members on CC standards groups) – Margo and Chuck

8. Accomplishments & Next Steps • Chuck Walrad (GL) • Phil LaPlante • Anne Marie Kelly (SE) Standards • Examine portfolio of CS standards assets for applicability to CCI • Status: Met with Don Shafer and Dorian; decided that S2ESC “Essentials Set” is the best starting point, after update and some adds. These will be useful for migration to the cloud. • Assure that CS volunteers are appointed as Vice-chairs • Status: Got lists from SA of all participants in the 2 CC standards WGs and Margo (CS Staff) is checking to see which are CS members.

9. Chuck Walrad (GL) • Phil LaPlante • Anne Marie Kelly (SE) Standards • Get contact with NIST Cloud group as source of potential volunteers • Status: Contact made. Thanks, Irena! • Review NIST standards map • Examination NIST reports for bases of new standards (e.g., Special Publication 800-144 Guidelines on Security and Privacy in Public Cloud ComputingJanuary 22, 2012 • Determine priority of new CS standards efforts. Accomplishments & Next Steps

10. Education • Don Shafer(GL) • Dennis Frailey • Dorian McClenahan (SE) • Determine which courses/webinars will need use of testbed – Dennis and Don • Adjust SMEs database model for CS CC STC volunteers database – Dennis and Don

11. Body of Knowledge • Chuck Walrad (GL) • PavanBalaji • Dante David (SE) • Recruit NIST authors – Chuck and Jeff • Dynamic development in stages -- 1 stage end of 2012

12. Accomplishments & Next Steps for CC BoK • Who is our target customer? • What is the price point? • How soon is first product needed? Can we have a staged release? • Status: Something (perhaps first increment) needed by EOY 2012 • Will the NIST participants be willing to be authors? • Status: Irena has put us in contact with Jeff Voas at NIST

13. Next Steps for CC BoK • Determine if we need a BoK for each • Cloud Environment (Service Model) • Iaas • Paas • Saas • Deployment Model • Private • Public • Community • Hybrid

14. Next Steps for CC BoK • Determine if we need a BoK for each • Role • Consumer • Provider • Carrier • Broker • Auditor

15. Publishing • Wes Chou (GL) • Liang-Jie Zhang (LJ) • Vojislav Misic • George Pallis • Lars Jentsch (SE) • Alicia Stickley (SE) • Determine CC keywords to tag and extract CC assets – Lars with help from Alicia =start with small group of volunteers =see what is hot in DL + some analytics people • Start recruiting volunteers from publications

16. Web Portal • Phil LaPlante(GL) • Jeff Voas • Sorel Reisman • Chris Jensen (SE) • ? (PM) • Discuss with Sorel CS to get ownership of IEEE CCI WP – Angela and Irena • if not: work on WP structure – in 2 weeks start building the prototype – Phil and Rick? • Find out what search engine is used by Smart Grid – Theresa and Chris • Tag assets –delegated to CF and PB groups

17. Newsletter • Wes Chou (GL) • Jeff Voas • Margo McCall (SE) • Discuss options on using current IEEE-CS newsletter processes – Margo • Explore Life Sciences NL – see how to provide CC resources on Liferay • Decide on format (subscription + pushing, dynamic,…) • Dynamic development in stages – 1st stage in a month

18. Testbed • Michael Kozuch (GL) • Rick McGeer • ? (PM) Testbed • Determine with ED what resources would be needed and for which courses • Obtain resources for CC educational activities – Rick and Mike

19. Additional • TCs communication plan - honor each TC chair, ask for experts – Irena • NIC funding – how to apply – Angela to talk to Kathie

20. CS Conferences supporting Cloud Computing2011-12

21. Questions • It is the High-Tech Wild, Wild West out there. • Although the CC marketplace is still chaotic, it is: • Exciting • Fast-growing • Full of opportunities
