interoperability, portability and security in cloud computing. The
goals of this workshop are: Public announcement of the Cloud Computing
Roadmap Strategy; engagement with interested parties on development of
a neutral cloud computing reference architecture and taxonomy; defining
target United States Government Cloud Computing Business Use Cases; and
public announcement of access to the Standards Acceleration to
Jumpstart the Adoption of Cloud Computing portal. Additional workshops
will be announced in the Federal Register.

DATES: The Cloud Computing Forum & Workshop II will be held November 4
and 5, 2010. Attendees must register by Thursday, October 28, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NIST plans to host several cloud computing
workshops. The workshop schedules, registration information, and a list
of frequently asked questions regarding these workshops are posted on
the Internet at: https://www.nist.gov/itl/cloud/upcoming-events.cfm.
On May 20, 2010, NIST hosted the first Cloud Computing Forum &
Workshop. The purpose of that initial workshop was to respond to the
request of the Federal Chief Information Officer to NIST to lead
federal efforts on standards for data portability, cloud
interoperability, and security. The workshop's goals were to initiate
engagement with industry to accelerate the development of cloud
standards for interoperability, portability, and security; introduce
NIST Cloud Computing efforts; and discuss the Federal Government's
experience with cloud computing.
The purpose of the second Cloud Computing Forum & Workshop II, to
be held on November 4 and 5, 2010, is to report on the status of these
efforts and to socialize the NIST strategy to collaboratively develop a
Cloud Computing Roadmap among multiple federal and industrial
stakeholders, and to advance a dialogue between these groups. To frame
the discussions, the United States Chief Information Officer and
Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology will
present their vision on the first day, November 4. Panel discussions
will consider the roles of standard organizations and ad-hoc standards
in the cloud; need and use of a reference architecture to support cloud
adoption; key cloud computing issues and proposed solutions; security
in the cloud; and international aspects of cloud computing. Breakout
sessions on the following day, November 5, designed to actively engage
stakeholders, will discuss these issues, and develop a series of next
steps for the effort in cloud computing standards.
All visitors to the NIST site are required to pre-register to be
admitted and have appropriate government-issued photo ID to gain entry
to NIST. Anyone wishing to attend this meeting must register at https://www-s.nist.gov/CRS/ by close of business Thursday, October 28, 2010,
in order to attend.

Dated: October 14, 2010.
