Scope, Participants, and Objectives:
The second installment of this workshop will continue to explore all aspects of cloud federation management. The notion of federation can be applied at any level in the system stack: from software-defined networks, to compute resources, to middleware services, to the highest application levels. Effective end-to-end federations will have to address all of these areas. Establishing trust among organizations will depend on how federated identity is managed, how resources access policies are decided and enforced, and even how network resources are configured on-demand to support trust relationships. Effectively addressing these issues will entail not only an enormous amount of technical work, but also an enormous amount of cultural adaptation to fully realize the benefits of cloud federation.
Cloud federation is necessary under many different scenarios. Hence, a wide cross-section of scientists, practitioners, and industrial organizations will have direct interest. The existing business models of cloud-bursting and cloud brokering actually require aspects of federation, i.e., enabling users from one site to securely use resources from a different provider. These concerns are driving the OpenStack Keystone team to implement key capabilities to support federated identity management. NIST has recognized “Frameworks to Support Federated Community Clouds" as one of the top ten priorities for cloud adoption in the US Government. There is also an increasing awareness that cloud federation is a fundamental capability and necessary prerequisite to enabling the kind of global "inter-cloud" that many people associate with being "in the cloud". The international "big science" community long ago recognized the need for federation management in the context of grid computing. The federation concepts and approaches from the grid era are being re-applied across cloud environments. International disaster response is, in many ways, the "poster child" use case for federation management: with little or no warning, different stakeholders may need to collaborate and share different resources. In short, all of these groups have definite interest in cloud federation management and this workshop.
The Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following:
Paper Submissions:
Authors are invited to submit papers electronically through EasyChair CFM 2015.
