Thanks for this notice, Jinjun. I suggest that we prepare a chapter entitled "Standards for Cloud Development" and submit it on the requested timeline. In it, we can review the standards basis for cloud and grid computing, detail the existing state of OGF and related documents and standards, and describe the process for standards creation with an emphasis on future directions that can be taken in standards for cloud computing. Anyone who would like to contribute to this would be welcome to participate and to be credited, from my point of view, if the chapter is accepted. We would have to pay appropriate attention to (and in fact mention) OGF intellectual property agreements in doing this. If no one steps forward to take the lead, I would be happy to prepare a draft. I suggest that it go out only after MSC review. Alan Begin forwarded message:

Introduction

A computing Cloud is a set of network enabled services, providing scalable, QoS guaranteed, normally personalized, inexpensive computing infrastructures on demand, which could be accessed in a simple and pervasive way. Conceptually, users acquire computing platforms or IT infrastructures from computing Clouds and then run their applications inside. Therefore, computing Clouds render users with services to access hardware, software and data resources, thereafter an integrated computing platform as a service, in a transparent way. Users thus can on-demand subscribe to their favorite computing infrastructures with requirements of hardware configuration, software installation and data access demands. The Cloud computing distinguishes itself from other computing paradigms, like Grid computing, Global computing, Internet Computing in the following aspects: user-centric interfaces, on-demand service, QoS guaranteed offer, autonomous system organization, scalability and flexible services.

This book is expected to serve as an important reference and a milestone for research on Cloud computing since 2007, when the term of “Cloud computing” was coined. We solicit survey & review papers, original research, technical implementation, and case studies in various fileds of Cloud computing.
