N9687
This document intends to provide an overall review
on the specified topics of Cloud computing in terms
of exploring standardization opportunities.
The SWG-Planning will make the report based on this
review result.
2009 JTC 1 Plenary

Our Work,
• reviewing current concept, characteristics, definitions,
type and components of the Cloud computing;
• comparison between Could computing and related
technologies;
• reviewing business perspectives of Could computing,
and the threats of Cloud computing;
• analyzing standardization activities of Cloud
computing in standardization organizations; and,
• proposing prospective standardization areas and
topics toward ISO/IEC JTC 1, and recommendations to
JTC1

New Paradigm Shift
• Value of On-Line Computing
Everything is connected !!!
• World Wide Web = World Wide Computing
Make it possible everything as-a-service !!!
• Ubiquitous Environments

Definition

More than 20 definitions in the world !
2009 JTC 1 Plenary

Definition
• Remarkable
• A pool of abstracted, highly scalable, and managed compute
infrastructure capable of hosting end-customer applications and
billed by consumption
• A style of computing in which dynamically scalable and often
virtualized resources are provided as a service over the Internet.
• Cloud computing is an emerging approach to shared infrastructure
in which large pools of systems are linked together to provide IT
services
• For business perspective,
• Cloud computing is providing IT infrastructure and environment to
develop/host/run services and applications, on demand, with pay-
as-you-go pricing, as a service.
2009 JTC 1 Plenary

Types of
Cloud Computing

• Public Cloud: the services are delivered to the client via the Internet from a third
party service provider.
• Private Cloud: these services are managed and provided within the organization.
There are less restriction on network bandwidth, fewer security exposures and
other legal requirements compared to the public Cloud.
• Hybrid Cloud: there is a combination of services provided from public and private
Clouds.
2009 JTC 1 Plenary

Components of Cloud Computing
!
Software as a Service (SaaS) Everything as a Service !
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Network as a Service (NaaS)

JTC 1 Perspective

JTC 1 Perspectives
• it is required to identify new work items and to
develop the standards for Cloud computing with more
global viewpoint under the NB-level.
• In particular, it is required to consider the standards
for adoption of Cloud computing in various public
sectors such as e-Government.
• It is also needed to consider the collaboration and
liaisons with other relevant SDOs.
2009 JTC 1 Plenary

JTC 1 Perspectives
• In order to identify new work items for Cloud computing
in JTC 1, the following issues should be investigated as
the first priority:
General & Fundamentals (General Requirements)
Data/Service Lock-in : Common APIs
Quality of Service (QoS) (*SLA)
Security
Data Confidentiality and Auditability
Data ownership (Authentication)
Data privacy
Software Licensing
Legal issues
Inter-Cloud Interoperability
Device Independence

SWG-Planning
Recommendation

Recommendation to JTC 1
• According to investigation work on Cloud Computing,
it is needed to initiate a dialogue with relevant
consortia with a view to establishing the state of the
work on Cloud Computing in the various consortia.
• In conclusion,
SWG-Planning recommends that JTC 1 establish a
Study Group on Cloud Computing to understand the
current state of standardization and to explore a
possible role for JTC 1.
2009 JTC 1 Plenary

Proposed ToR
• The Study Group will have the following terms of
reference:
1. Provide a taxonomy, terminology and value proposition for Cloud
Computing
2. Assess the current state of standardization in Cloud Computing
within JTC 1 and in other SDOs and consortia beginning with
document JTC 1 N 9687
3. Document standardization market/business/user requirements
and the challenges to be addressed
4. Liaise and collaborate with relevant SDOs and consortia related to
Cloud Computing 5. Hold workshops to gather requirements as
needed 6. Provide a report of activities and recommendations to
JTC 1.
