Fwd: Intercloud 2014 CFP Deadline Extended to Dec 21 - IEEE 4th Int'l Workshop on Interclouds, Multiclouds, Federations, and Interoperability
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.

Fwd: [ASGC] ISGC 2015 – Early-Bird Registration is OPEN!
by Sill, Alan 19 Jan '15

19 Jan '15

Dear OGF participants and colleagues, Please see the notice regarding opening of registration for the ISGC 2015 conference below. While OGF will not be meeting at the ISGC this year (please join us the following week for OGF 43 in the Washington DC area!), we encourage participation in the ISGC conferences each year, and look forward to joining you there at another opportunity. -------------- (Apologies in advance, if you receive multiple copies of the Call for Participation) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- International Symposium on Grids and Clouds (ISGC) 2015 15 ~ 20 March 2015, Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan CALL FOR PARTICIPATION --------------------------------------- The International Symposium on Grids and Clouds (ISGC) 2015 will be held at Academia Sinica in Taipei, Taiwan from 15-20 March 2015, with co-located events and workshops. The main theme of ISGC 2015 is “Global e-Infrastructure for Global Challenges”. Nowadays, the world is facing complex and global challenges in climate, health, energy, safety that impact whole populations and that are not restricted by country borders. Being of continental or even transcontinental size, these challenges can be tackled only through collaboration between multiple user communities, crossing nations and regions. Such collaborations are complicated by fragmented research, where individual groups and nations merely solve isolated pieces of the global puzzle. While not a panacea, the global e-Infrastructure supporting international collaboration helps us work on the puzzle effectively, accessibly, and completely. The universality of the global e-Infrastructure concept must find its way into its proper implementation, resulting from close interaction and collaboration with communities that use it. ISGC 2015 solicits papers and contributions that show this interaction benefitting both sides – the global communities dealing with global challenges (and the pieces of the global puzzle) and the e-Infrastructure developers and managers who face new challenges of size and multiplicity of requirements. The goal of ISGC 2015 is to create a face-to-face venue where individual communities and national representatives can present and share their contributions to the global puzzle and contribute thus to the solution of global challenges.

Happy Thanksgiving and OGF news
by Sill, Alan 27 Nov '14

27 Nov '14

Dear colleagues, First, Happy Thanksgiving for those in the US and expatriates who are celebrating this family-oriented treasured holiday. I thought this would be a good time to bring you up to speed on some updates and news for OGF. Please take note of these events and of your opportunities for participation. - OGF will be co-sponsoring general Interoperability demonstrations and recording for all relevant projects at the Interoperability Demo Days 11-12 December and virtual Cloud Plugfest 8-12 Dec. 2014 at and immediately after the Utility and Cloud Computing conference 8-11 Dec. in London. Co-sponsors for this event include the Cloud Standards Customer Council, OGF, the US National Science Foundation Cloud and Autonomic Computing Industry/University Cooperative Research Center, the European Grid Initiative Federated Cloud project, the CloudWatch project, and the Storage Networking Industry Association, and opportunities for additional sponsorships are open. The results of demonstrations presented at or submitted through this event will be recorded and made available by Primeur Magazine and by the CloudWatch project. For further information and/or to register to attend either the Interoperability Demos or to participate in the virtual Cloud Plugfest or to present a demo, please visit the CloudPlugfest.org web site and/or send a message to planners(a)cloudplugfest.org - IMPORTANT: OGF 43 is planned for March 25-27, 2015 to be co-located with the GENI Engineering Conference 23-26 March and Global Lambda Interconnect Facility (GLIF) meeting 26-27 March at the Hilton Crystal City, VA, just across the river from Washington DC. A demonstration event for networking software is being planned, and subsequent Cloud Plugfest and distributed computing interoperability events similar to the above are in the works and in the last stages of being planned. Please SAVE THE DATE for this event and these activities, at which we expect to be able to provide meeting rooms for all interested OGF groups. We would like in particular to promote strong interaction between the federated identity management and certificate authority operations groups, the networking and cloud (e.g., OCCI) infrastructure groups, the applications communities and working production cloud and grid infrastructure projects to compare notes and move forward at this event. We have moved OGF 43 from its previously planned location at the University of Virginia to be able to take advantage of this co-location opportunity. Look for and please participate in (I.e., respond to) a Call for Session Proposals for this event soon. Proposals for future OGF events at an EGI meeting in May, and/or at or near HPDC '15 in Portland in June with several associated events, and/or at XSEDE 2015 in St. Louis in July have been received and are being evaluated. We would also like to recruit offers for hosting for an OGF meeting in the fall 2015 and for a winter or early 2016 location and venue. Please send your suggestions or opinions on these events to events(a)ogf.org or pass them on through your group leaders or area directors (if you feel appropriate) after discussion. Finally, but not least, please send us your suggestions for new groups, area directors and other OGF positions, areas in which OGF can usefully deploy its resources to organize and document new emerging practices in large-scale utility and distributed computing, or otherwise continue to serve the community in an active way. As a personal and deeply felt note, this organization was built by and for the community and its continuation depends on good ideas, like the ones mentioned above, to remain relevant in the fast-changing world of new technologies. We remain very confident of your inventiveness and in the value of having an open, free, community-based forum based on the best possible principles for documenting and making available recipes for the best practices in distributed computing. Please help us by participating and writing documents and implementations to make this organization that you have built the best possible forum of its type, and write down what you are doing for publication as described at http://ogf.org/documents for the dissemination of your work and the benefit of the community. Please participate in the work and community groups and feel free to suggest new ones for continued useful work and discussion. Best regards for a great holiday for those celebrating, and I hope to see you in London or at one or more of the above events!

Interoperability Demo Days and Cloud Plugfest event Dec. 11-12 at and after UCC 2014 in London, and OGF meeting opportunities
by Sill, Alan 19 Nov '14

19 Nov '14

Dear OGF colleagues, This note is to call your attention to an event to take place at and immediately following the Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC) conference in London in early December 2014, and to invite your participation as well as that of any projects in which you are involved. The event will take place December 11 and 12, 2014 beginning on the last day of the UCC 2014 conference and extending one day beyond it at the same hotel. The event will be entitled “Interoperability Demo Days” and will consist of demonstrations of software, infrastructure and standards that promote or include interoperable features by design that are practical for use in real-world implementations. The event is incorporated into the agenda of the UCC 2014 conference as shown at the link below, beginning Thursday and extending past the end of the conference through Friday Dec. 12. http://computing.derby.ac.uk/ucc2014/conference-programme/ Attendance will be free to all UCC 2014 attendees on Thursday; those who would like to attend that day who are not already UCC registrants should register for a day pass at the usual conference rates. This portion is intended to be convenient for those who are already conference attendees. We strongly encourage registration for the UCC event Dec. 8-11, 2014, which includes many special workshops and paper sessions on topics of interest to distributed and high performance utility and cloud computing. Registration, venue and other practical information on the location is available at the link below: http://computing.derby.ac.uk/ucc2014/venue/ Those who would like to extend their stay to attend the Interoperability Demo and Cloud Plugfest on Friday, Dec. 12 can do so at no cost and do not need to register for UCC thanks to sponsorships we have arranged. This portion (Friday only) does not require a UCC 2014 registration. At this event we hope to show the results of many projects that have interoperability among their goals. The event is open to all, and a presentation request can be made by sending an email message to planners(a)cloudplugfest.org or by replying to this message. Separate announcements will also be going out from the cooperating sponsoring organizations, which can be found on the Cloud Plugfest web site at http://cloudplugfest.org for example, to members of their constituent communities. We would like to emphasize that presentation is open to all projects and organizations through a selection process to be run by the planning committee to ensure applicability to the announced goals of the event. Additional meeting time for OGF and related groups may also be available at the conference and at this event. If you have a group that would like to meet, please let us know directly by replying to this email.
