Cloud Interoperability Forum
Moderator: Doug Zuckerman, Senior Scientist, Applied Communication Sciences, USA, IEEE Fellow

The IEEE Cloud Computing Initiative (CCI), launched in April 2011 and significantly funded in 2012, intends to help accelerate the development and use of cloud computing technologies and help advance the understanding and use of the cloud computing paradigm by coordinating IEEE cloud computing conferences, publications, standards, educational, and regional activities. The IEEE Cloud Computing Web Portal provides members of the technical community as well as the general public a convenient, centralized gateway to news and information about cloud computing and the many activities organized and led by the IEEE CCI. One such activity is this week’s IEEE North America Cloud Computing Congress, which consists of:
(on 3 December 2012)

1. Industry Tutorial on “Programmable Cloud Computing and Networking” (three sessions on 6 December 2012)
2. Executive Forum on “IT Transformation: Clouds, Security, Mobility and Computing”
3. 1st Industry Forum: Cloud Computing Interoperability
4. 2nd Industry Forum: Cloud Computing Industry Perspectives (and on 7 December 2012)
5. Technical Program Workshop W14: Management and Security Technologies for Cloud Computing 2012 (ManSec-CC 2012)

In this first Industry Forum, special attention will be given to the role of standards as an enabler of cloud interoperability, the business value of cloud computing, big data and the cloud, and community multi-clouds.
