Jeju, 13 – 16 May 2013Standards for Shared ICT HIS- Cloud Services Karen Bartleson, President, IEEE Standards Association Document No: GSC17-PLEN-69 Source: IEEE Contact: Karen Bartleson GSC Session: PLEN Agenda Item: 6.11

GSC17-PLEN-69 GSC-17, Jeju / Korea Standards for Shared ICT 2 Highlight of Current Activities Providing leadership in the development & deployment of cloud computing technologies & open standards Enabling & facilitating cloud computing throughout all economy sectors via market driven standards Our activities support the full life cycle of standards--from concept or incubation to market acceptance & use We are developing a pipeline of standards related activities –Cloud computing technology research & education –Market implementation programs Pre-standards activities Accelerated standards activities Post- standards activities

GSC17-PLEN-69 GSC-17, Jeju / Korea Standards for Shared ICT 3 Highlight of Current Activities IEEE Cloud Computing Initiative testbed activity –Developing environment for creating & testing protocols for IEEE P2302, Draft Standard for Intercloud Interoperability & Federation (SIIF) –Partnering with universities & research institutions around the globe that have cloud computing resources –Goal: Create a well-connected standards platform & testbed that will be used to experiment with other IEEE cloud computing products & services (such as e-learning education) –Housed in IEEE-SA Industry Connections Participants place cloud implementation of their choice in a connected datacenter in a specific geography Researchers contribute to the open-source implementation of the Intercloud protocol suite, while adapting the protocols to the cloud in use Experiment with cloud federation through these services, further develop protocols, ontologies & explore the topology issues for scalability Feed results to SIIF standards project

GSC17-PLEN-69 GSC-17, Jeju / Korea Standards for Shared ICT 4 Strategic Direction Focus on intercloud interoperability, engaging university & industry organizations for software development & testbed location hosting Provide a resource for cloud computing policy related issues Optimize the unique IEEE platform of education, publications, conferences & standards to explore new opportunities in the cloud computing space & to connect stakeholders Provide a venue where the best minds come together to innovate & work together to advance cloud technology for the benefit of humanity

GSC17-PLEN-69 GSC-17, Jeju / Korea Standards for Shared ICT 5 Challenges Cloud services do not have a well defined set of standards, though there are various organizations working on different standards Lack of interoperability standards for cloud computing Individual cloud services vendors continue to promote their own cloud services

GSC17-PLEN-69 GSC-17, Jeju / Korea Standards for Shared ICT 6 Next Steps / Actions Focus on intercloud Complete agreements for organizations involved in the Intercloud testbed & execute Leverage the IEEE community of experts & technologist to help solve the comparability & interoperability challenges in cloud computing
