Request for Study Period on Potential Standard Issues for Cloud Computing ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 32/WG 2 Interim Meeting, Crete, Greece, October 2011 Sungjoon Lim, Korea Database Agency (KDB) Dongwon Jeong, Kunsan Nat’l University (KNU) WG2_N1604

The Need of Cloud Computing Online Computing by network –Everything is connected Service itself is more important –Make it possible everything “As-A-SERVICE” Ubiquitous Era –You can do in every device

What is Cloud Computing: Models Source: Thoughts on Information Technology, Cloud Computing -

Major Issues: Reality of Cloud Computing Source: blogs.znet.com

Major Issues: Standard Issues Security across Clouds Moving applications between Cloud platforms Describing resource/performance capabilities and requirements Orchestration and middleware tools for creating composite applications across Clouds Common representations (abstract, APIs, protocols) for interfacing to Cloud resources Metadata & data exchanges among Clouds, etc.

Major Issues: Lock-in problem Vendor(or Service provider) Lock-In problem –since the applications may not be available elsewhere, we cannot easily switch the provider. Worse: From some of the Web 2.0 Services like social networks (e.g., Xing, LinkedIn, Facebook) we can’t retrieve your own data. Xing for example has a “mobile export” for data, but this works only for paying customers and only exports address data.

Major Issues: Needs of Standardization Platform Service Dependency from Providers and Vendors Lock-in Problem on Cloud Data and Services Cloud A Cloud B
