IEEE's Cloud Forum for Practitioners:
The Cloud in 2013
 

October 12, 2010
Naval Postgraduate School
Monterey, California

This first annual cloud computing forum (ICFP'10) seeks to bring together researchers, practitioners, vendors, and others interested in the question concerning when, how, and whether to move their IT resources into cloud computing. Widespread cloud adoption may be on the horizon in particular Federal and military sectors due to regulations and Congressional mandates, however that is not yet true for the commercial sector. The commercial sector is looking cautiously at this new computing opportunity and the supposed economic benefits it offers. However security and privacy concerns have not been alleviated. Given this, adoption continues at a slow pace. This 2010 forum seeks to offer recommendations and suggestions through a unique set of speakers who will speak both for and against cloud adoption, and where they believe cloud computing will be in 2013. This is a space limited event that you will not want to miss if cloud computing is a direction that you have been told to move towards or simply stay informed about. And finally, a 2011 successor Forum is already in the planning stages.  

Please note that pre-registration is necessary*. Pre-registration will close at 5 p.m. PST on October 6, 2010. No walk-ins can be allowed due to the location of the event.  The forum will be video recorded by IEEE.

*NPS faculty, staff, and students do not have to register.
