<SDOs & Fora related to Cloud Computing>

19. JTC1
ISO/IEC JTC 1 SC38 / SGCC
Title:! Distributed Application Platforms and Services (DAPS)
Scope:!Standardization for interoperable Distributed Application
Platform and services including:
•! Web Services, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), and
•! Cloud Computing.
As per the JTC 1 Directives, SC 38 establishes its own substructure at
its first meeting in Beijing China, May 2010
• Web Service WG
• Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) WG
• Cloud Computing SG

20. JTC1
ISO/IEC JTC 1 SC38 / SGCC
Terms of References for SGCC
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 open meetings to gather requirements as needed from a wide range of
interested organizations.
6. Provide a report of activities and recommendations to SC 38.
