Topics: Federation, Identity, Security, Networking, Data Management
Good Day, I wanted to bring to our community working on Federation, Identity, Security, Networking, or Data Management, a couple of collaborations happening during the November Summit. "Supporting General Federation for Large-Scale Collaborations", discusses general federations across multiple administrative domains and would facilitate a wide variety of collaborations, including areas as diverse as international "big science" efforts, international disaster response, and supply chain management, just to name a few. https://www.openstack.org/summit/sydney-2017/summit-schedule/events/20475/ supporting-general-federation-for-large-scale-collaborations? These types of federated clouds, or inter-clouds, are being pursued by the NIST/IEEE Joint WG on Federated Cloud: http://standards.ieee.org/news/2017/intercloud_interoperability_and_ federation.html http://collaborate.nist.gov/twiki-cloud-computing/bin/view/CloudComputing/ FederatedCloudPWGFC https://standards.ieee.org/develop/project/2302.html and the Open Research Cloud organization: http://www.openresearchcloud.org The ORC's goal is to support international science collaborations. The NIST goal is to "define" federation, build a conceptual model, map-out federation deployment models, and identify needed areas of federation-specific standardization. The IEEE goal is to push these federation standards through the standardization process. The "3rd Open Research CloudCongress" is set to take place Nov 8 and Nov 9 as part of the Summit. We are looking forward to the Sydney Congress and making further progress on the development of the ORC and the ORC Declaration. Our thanks to NeCTAR and the OpenStack Foundation for sponsoring and hosting this meeting in Sydney. Sincerely, -- Martial Michel
