by Sill, Alan 21 Jan '15

21 Jan '15

Forwarding this on behalf of the organizers via David Bernstein. Please note the adjusted submission deadline! *CALL FOR PAPERS (Deadline Extended!!)* *IEEE Fourth International Workshop on **Cloud Computing* *Interclouds, Multiclouds, Federations, and Interoperability* *(Intercloud 2015)* *Tempe, Arizona, USA, March 9 – 13, 2015in conjunction withthe IEEE International Conference on Cloud Engineering (IC2E 2015)* ------------------------------ Advances in processing, communication and systems/middleware technologies have led us to new paradigms and platforms for computing – in the form of Cloud Computing That in its own turn creates a basis for the Big Data and Data intensive technologies. Cloud Computing from Cloud Service Providers is a burgeoning market with a wide variety to choose from, including some of the most notable names in Internet and IT today. Cloud Computing is the go-to platform now for datacenter architecture, scalable application hosting, new application development, and mobile app platform. While cloud Computing enjoys a certain amount of application – or application architecture – portability, there are not really any interoperability standards or common practices in place. Security, SLA, and other concerns are still active areas of interest. Also, while Cloud Computing is different from Grid Computing, there is some Federation and Interoperability in the Grid community, are these appropriate to the Cloud Computing space. It is widely believed that the whole space of Clouds, Grids, and the Intercloud will federate and eventually converge. Looking even further backwards, there are lessons to be learned from the early Internet work as well as Mobile Telephony. Looking forwards, Cloud Federation Management as well as SDN are both key to making this happen. This workshop aims at providing a forum to bring together researchers for sharing and exchanging Cloud computing related research, technologies, experience, and lessons for building Clouds with Intercloud, Multicloud, Federation, and Interoperability capabilities, standards, services, and management techniques. Topics of interest include: - Theory, frameworks, methodologies, architecture for Interclouds, Multiclouds, Federations, and Interoperability - Cloud Federation and Interoperability Protocols - Cloud Federation Management - Trust, Security, Identity for Interclouds, Multiclouds, Federations, and Interoperability - Virtual Private Cloud, IP-SEC, MPLS techniques for Domain Management - Grid Federation and Interoperability Protocols, Lessons Learned, As Applied to Clouds - Experimental Results of Distributed/Multiple Datacenter Cloud Coordination and Interoperability - Theory or Experimental Results of SDN used for Federations, and Interoperability - Semantic Web Services Definitions for Clouds Resources and Management - Using Big Data techniques to solve Federation Constraint based Resource Matching - Mobile Roaming applications for for Interclouds, Multiclouds, Federations, and Interoperability - Cloud and Grid Federation governance and regulatory issues - Traffic and load balancing across Federated and Interoperable Clouds - QoS/SLA in Federated and Interoperable Clouds - PaaS for Interclouds, Multiclouds, Federations, and Interoperability - Interoperable cloud based infrastructures for Big Data applications - Management operations, discovery, configuration, provisioning - Geo-balancing for Interclouds, Multiclouds, Federations, and Interoperability - Compliance, Reference Definitions and Semantics, for Interclouds, Multiclouds, Federations, and Interoperability - Testbeds for Interclouds, Multiclouds, Federations, and Interoperability ------------------------------ *PAPER SUBMISSION* Manuscripts should be prepared in 10-point font using the IEEE 8.5" x 11" two-column format. The full manuscript should be at most 7 pages. All papers should be in PDF. http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=intercloud2015 A paper submitted cannot be under review for any other conference or journal during the entire time it is considered, and it must be substantially different from any previously published work. All submissions are peer-reviewed. The IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services will publish accepted papers. Each paper will receive a minimum of three reviews. Papers will be selected based on their originality, relevance, technical clarity and presentation. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be registered and presented at the workshop. If you have any questions about paper submission or the workshop, please contact the organizer. *IMPORTANT DATES* - Papers due: Sunday December 21, 2014 AOE <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anywhere_on_Earth> (Deadline Extended) - Notification of Acceptance: January 26th, 2015 - Camera ready paper due: February 1st, 2015 *WORKSHOP ORGANIZERS* David Bernstein Founder/Chief Architect, IEEE P2302 Intercloud Standards Working Group and Global Testbed Project Cloud Strategy Partners, LLC Silicon Valley, California E-mail: david *at* cloudstrategypartners.com Yuri Demchenko University of Amsterdam Science Park 904 1098XH Amsterdam The Netherlands Email: y.demchenko *at* uva.nl Chunming Rong University of Stavanger NO- 4036, Stavanger, Norway E-mail: chunming.rong *at* uis.no _______________________________________________ distributed-computing-announce mailing list distributed-computing-announce(a)datasys.cs.iit.edu http://datasys.cs.iit.edu/mailman/listinfo/distributed-computing-announce

Update on OGF meetings and inquiry on co-location opportunity with the EGI spring conference 2015
by Sill, Alan 16 Dec '14

16 Dec '14

Dear OGF working groups, community groups, and colleagues: Thanks for your continued contributions to OGF activities, which continue to yield results such as the two sets of two documents each published earlier this year on work related to the Data Format Description Language (DFDL) and Network Service Interface (NSI) at http://ogf.org/documents and the work on the GLUE LDAP Schema that is in public comment at http://redmine.ogf.org/boards/22/topics/423 until February 20th, 2015. Beyond OGF 43 to be held in Arlington, Virginia (just across the river from Washington DC) 25-27 March 2015 in association with the GENI conference and GLIF meetings, we are looking at the following option for a gathering for an OGF at the EGI spring conference, to will be 18-22 May, 2015 in Lisbon, as mentioned below. We would very much like to have immediate feedback from you regarding your availability and interest in the opportunity to hold an OGF gathering at or adjacent in the calendar to the EGI conference as a co-located activity. Please feel free to respond directly to this message, or to forward your response through your group leaders and/or area directors, as soon as you can compose message. Thanks very much, Alan Sill VP of Standards Open Grid Forum Begin forwarded message: > From: Tiziana Ferrari <tiziana.ferrari(a)egi.eu> > Subject: co-location with the EGI spring conference 2015 > Date: December 12, 2014 at 2:16:08 AM CST > To: "Sill, Alan" <alan.sill(a)ttu.edu> > > Dear Alain > > the dates of the EGI spring conference are now fixed: 18-22 May, Lisbon. > We are now preparing the programme. > > Let me know if you would like to have a co-located event. > > Thanks in advance for your quick feedback, > Tiziana > > -- > Tiziana Ferrari/EGI.eu > EGI.eu Technical Director > EGI-InSPIRE Project Director > 0031 (0)6 3037 2691
