IEEE Computer Society Cloud Computing Future Technologies Sub-Strategy

1. IEEE Computer SocietyCloud ComputingFuture Technologies Sub-Strategy • Irena Bojanova • Chair, Cloud ComputingFuture Technologies Sub-Strategy, IEEE CS

2. Agenda – July 18, 2012 • Introduction • Work area – focus discussion • Updates by Group • Conferences • Standards • Education • Publishing - focus discussion • Body of Knowledge • Web Portal • Newsletter • Testbed http://techsol.tnlexperts.com/2012/02/05/cloud-computing/

3. Updates • CC on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computingg  add info and reference (need Wikipedia login ) to the CS Volunteers Blog: http://computersocietyvolunteerblog.computer.org/2012/06/18/introducing-the-cs-cloud-computing-special-technical-community/ • Working Area –Theresa McNeill • Provide ID to Theresa to be given access • Need to have functionality for volunteers to join

4. Status – All • Define Scope: (1) Novel applications -best practices, case studies, common APIs; (2) Get info from CLOUD keynotes - security expert + testbeds • Cloud computing service/deployment/architecture models • Service ecosystems • High performance computing • Big data • Cloud based mobility • Determine customer needs, prioritize, get the bigger ones done first ->Chris will share results • Determine which activities will support IEEE CCI; Which are only ours

5. Conferences • PavanBalaji(GL) • Jia Zhang • Carrie Walsh (SE) • Carmen Saliba(SE) • Get the Amazon contact from CLOUD hands on activities – Jia(share with Testbed group) • Start recruiting volunteers from conferences • Tag assets – 41 CS CC conferences – Carrie and Pavan(share with Web Portal group)

6. Technical Sponsorship Request

7. Standards • Chuck Walrad (GL) • ? • Anne Marie Kelly (SE) • Determine CS volunteers on Cloud standards projects (12/112 and 8/134 acting members on CC standards groups) – Margo and Chuck

8. Education • Don Shafer(GL) • Dennis Frailey • Dorian McClenahan (SE) • Determine which courses/webinars will need use of testbed – Dennis and Don • Adjust SMEs database model for CS CC STC volunteers database – Dennis and Don

9. Body of Knowledge • Chuck Walrad (GL) • PavanBalaji • Dante David (SE) • Recruit NIST authors – Chuck and Jeff –> need to find other ways • Dynamic development in stages – 1st stag end of 2012.

10. Publishing • Wes Chou (GL) • Liang-Jie Zhang (LJ) • Vojislav Misic • George Pallis • Lars Jentsch (SE) • Alicia Stickley (SE) • Determine CC keywords to tag and extract CC assets – Lars with help from Alicia =start with small group of volunteers =see what is hot in DL + some analytics people • Start recruiting volunteers from publications

11. Web Portal • Gabor Kecskemeti(GL) • ? • Sorel Reisman • Chris Jensen (SE) • ? (PM) • Discuss with Sorel CS to get ownership of IEEE CCI WP – Angela and Irena – NOT happening  work on WP structure – start building the prototype ready in 2 weeks – Gabor • Find out what search engine is used by Smart Grid – Theresa and Chris • Tag assets – delegated to CF and PB groups

12. Newsletter • Wes Chou (GL) • Jeff Voas • Margo McCall (SE) • Discuss options on using current IEEE-CS newsletter processes – Margo • Explore Life Sciences NL – see how to provide CC resources on Liferay • Decide on format (subscription + pushing, dynamic,…) • Dynamic development in stages – 1st stage in a month

13. Newsletter • Wes Chou (GL) • ? • Margo McCall (SE) • Discussion about Newsletter Goals • Drive traffic to the CC web portal/s and other IEEE and IEEE-CS cloud-related content • Build a loyal and engaged community of cloud researchers and practitioners to satisfy the CC STC charter • Create a large enough subscriber base to potentially sell newsletter advertising • Steer recipients to related IEEE-CS products and services (membership, education and training, magazines, journals, conferences, books) through house ads and promos. • Encourage CS members and potential members to sign up for the newsletter. • Short term • Leverage existing CS process to send emails that link back to existing content • Short term deliverable – The content • Longer term • Closer integration with Web Portal as a “splash” page • Recommend keeping this in mind as short term plan is executed • Potential Newsletter titles: “Cloud Burst” “Cloud Spout”

14. Publishing • Wes Chou (GL) • Liang-Jie Zhang (LJ) • Vojislav Misic • George Pallis • Lars Jentsch (SE) • Alicia Stickley (SE) • Lars has provided a great initial set of key words - Included feedback from LJ and George - Need to reduce the list. Recommend focusing on NIST definitions, adding a few others, and beginning to data mine IEEE assets. - Can follow up with sub-keywords. • Need to continue to recruit volunteers for data mining effort. Can we offer temporary accounts to Digital Library and/or Xplore?

15. Testbed • Michael Kozuch (GL) • Rick McGeer • ? (PM) Testbed • Determine with ED what resources would be needed and for which courses • Obtain resources for CC educational activities – Rick and Mike

16. Additional • New volunteers orientations – Irena • TCs communication plan – honor each TC chair, ask for experts – Irena • NIC funding – how to apply – Angela to talk to Kathie

17. Questions • It is the High-Tech Wild, Wild West out there. • Although the CC marketplace is still chaotic, it is: • Exciting • Fast-growing • Full of opportunities
