IEEE CLOUD COMPUTING CONGRESS




The IEEE Cloud Computing Congress being held in North America is part of an overall presence of the IEEE Cloud Computing Initiative (see http://cloudcomputing.ieee.org/) at IEEE GLOBECOM 2012. The congress consists of a tutorial, executive forum, several Industry Forum and Exposition (IF&E) sessions, a technical workshop, and a plenary keynote presentation. 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.

Cloud computing already has widespread impact across how we access today’s applications, resources, and data. Many issues around cloud computing need to be addressed, including, but not limited to, security, reliability, architecture, and economics. During this congress, 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, the impact of cloud computing on network infrastructures, and user experiences with the cloud computing paradigm.
