2. IEEE’s Cloud Computing Initiative • Cloud computing already has widespread impact across how we access today’s applications, resources, and data. • IEEE has been providing a venue for cloud-related activities for years. • The Cloud Computing Initiativewas created for a focused IEEE presence by: • Leading a well coordinated and collaborative effort on cloud opportunities across IEEE • Leveraging “One IEEE” – resources and expertise from across the IEEE • This presentation focuses on how the IEEE Computer Society is involved with cloud computing in general, and how our activities support the IEEE’s Cloud Computing Initiative (CCI)

3. Publications • IEEE’s Cloud Computing Initiative is calling for the introduction of two new publications: • IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing • Peer reviewed articles published that provide innovative research ideas and applications results in all areas relating to cloud computing. Topics include: • IEEE Cloud Computing Magazine • Targeted to broader, more general interest community • Proposal in development phase

4. Magazines Cloud computing articles have appeared in the following IEEE Computer Society publications: • Computer • Software • Internet Computing • IT Professional • Computing in Science & Engineering • Security & Privacy

5. Magazines Recent articles have included: • “Environmental Modeling for Automated Cloud Application Testing,” Zhang, Ma, Lu, Xie, Tillmann, de Halleux. • “A Distributed Access Control Architecture for Cloud Computing,” Almutairi, Sarfraz, Basalamah, Aref, Ghafoor. • “Testing in the Could: Exploring the Practice,” Riungu-Kalliosaari, Taipale, Smolander. • “Evaluating High-Performance Computing on Google App Engine,” Prodan, Sperk, Ostermann. • “Logical Data Models for Cloud Computing Architectures,” Samba. • “Cloud@Home: Toward a Volunteer Cloud,” Distefano, Puliafito. • “Threat as a Service? Virtualization’s Impact on Cloud Security,” Tsai, Siebenhaar, Miede, Huang, Steinmetz.

6. Magazines We are currently writing a proposal for the new magazine envisioned by CCI, dedicated to cloud computing: • peer-reviewed articles that provide innovative research ideas, applications results, and case studies. • raise awareness of research and application challenges in hardware, software, and security and privacy. • will include news, conference reports, and other columns and departments. • will offer IEEE societies with interests in cloud computing the opportunity to provide content and/or promote their related products and services, and raise awareness of IEEE activities in cloud computing generally.

7. Transactions • Transactions on Cloud Computing under review for 2013 launch. The Computer Society is leading the development and publication of this new transaction. • In addition, existing CS transactions also focus on topics related to cloud computing: • Special Issue on Cloud Computing in Nov. 2012 issue of Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems • Transactions on Services Computing celebrating its 5th year of publication this year

8. Conferences • The Cloud Computing Initiative calls for enhanced cloud focus to complement existing conferences, and the creation of new thought leadership conferences where needed: • IEEE Cloud Computing for Emerging Markets • 11-12 October 2012, Bangalore, India • Latin America Cloud Congress • 26-27 November 2012, Porto Alegra, Brazil • Asian Pacific Cloud Congress • 8-11 November 2012, Shenzhen, China • North America Cloud Symposium/IEEE Globecom, 3-7 December 2012, Anaheim, California, US • Cloud Computing World Forum, 2013

10. “Virtual Conferences” “24 Hours in a Private Cloud” • CS was a major sponsor (with Microsoft, Dell, and the Cloud Security Alliance) of a 24-hour virtual conference held in May 2012. • ComputingNow EIC DejanMilojicicwas one of three keynote speakers. • Multimedia “virtual booth” at http://bit.ly/24hipc • Participants heard from top industry and technical professionals from around the world to better understand the private cloud technology solutions that are available today. • Interactive conversations with technical professionals

11. Education • The CCI calls for the development of new educational opportunities relevant to cloud computing: • eLearning modules • Continuing education • Video of conference presentations, section/chapter talks

12. Professional Education The IEEE Computer Society’s Professional Development Committee, part of the Educational Activities Board, is developing a series of training and education courses in the field of cloud computing.

13. Standards • IEEE is leading the way on two standards: • P2301 Cloud portability, commonality • Designed to provide an intuitive road map for application portability, management, and interoperability interfaces, as well as for file formats and operating conventions. • P2302 Cloud to cloud interoperability • Defining the topology, protocols, functionality, and governance required for cloud-to-cloud interoperability.

14. Special Technical Communities (STCs) A new community dedicated to cloud is starting up within the Computer Society: • STC on Cloud Computing - http://stc-cloud-computing.ieee.net/ • Co-Chairs: Michael Kozuch and Rick McGeer • Social Media - LinkedIn (http://www.linkedin.com/groups/Special-Technical-Community-on-Cloud-3980796) • Featured Content: Open Source Cloud Consortia This STC is currently recruiting board members, developing a newsletter for its members, and working to technically cosponsor a conference.

15. IEEE CS Strategic Plan 2012-2014 Cloud computing is an important part of the Computer Society’s future growth and development. The current Strategic Plan includes specific activities and strategies designed to enhance the Computer Society’s role as a leader in the field.
