GSC16-PLEN-28
Highlight of Current Activities
• Standardization initiatives on Cloud
Computing
– There are lots of efforts to develop the
standards on Cloud Computing in many SDOs
and Consortia.
– In particular, it is expected to develop the Cloud
Computing standards in the De-jure SDOs
(ITU-T, ISO) from the next year since the
market requirements have been extremely
increased.

Highlight of Current Activities
• ITU-T FG Cloud
– ITU-T Focus Group on Cloud Computing was
established according to ITU-T TSAG
agreement at its meeting in Geneva, 8-11
February 2010.
– Currently, ITU-T FG Cloud has been developing
several deliverables which are scheduled to be
finalized at the end of 2011.
– It is expected that the relevant Study Group in
ITU-T will start to develop the standards from
the next year.

Highlight of Current Activities
• ISO/IEC JTC 1 SC 38
– ISO/IEC JTC 1 have formed a new
Subcommittee 38 (SC 38) at 2009 Plenary
under which includes working groups for Web
Services and SOA as well as a Study Group on
Cloud Computing (SGCC).
– Recently, at the SC 38 Plenary meeting in
Seoul, agreed to establish the new Working
Group with new work item proposals (NWIPs)
• NWIP #1. Definition & Terminology
• NWIP #2. Reference Architecture

Highlight of Current Activities
• Joint Meeting of ITU-T FG Cloud & JTC 1
SC 38 (26 Sep. 2011, Seoul)
– Exchange of information concerning Cloud
Computing standards activities and future plans.
– Identification of what Cloud topics have the
potential ones for joint standards between ITUT and ISO/IEC JTC 1 SC 38.
– Discussion of specific topics on Cloud
Computing for future possible joint standards
collaboration

Strategic Direction
• Observations
– As rapid deployments of Cloud Computing, it
urgently needs additional relevant standards
which have not already covered elsewhere in
existing standards.
– Cloud Computing should neither require a
large corpus of new standards nor should it
require replacement of a significant portion of
existing standardization work.

GSC16-PLEN-28
Strategic Direction
• Global Harmonization of Cloud Computing
Standardization Activities
– In order to avoid overlapped efforts for Cloud
standards activities among the SDOs and
Consortia
– In order not to give unnecessary confusion to
industries for their adoption
– To encourage relevant SDOs for their efficient
standards activity

Challenges
• Fragmented Standards
– A Number of organizations are involved in the
development of standards on Cloud
Computing
– Lack of basic framework of standards (e.g.,
Terms & Definition, Common Architecture)
– Some current/possible overlaps of
standardization activities among the SDOs
and Consortia

GSC16-PLEN-28
Next Steps / Actions
• Establishment of Global Collaborations for
Cloud Computing Standardization activities
– To promote necessary information exchange
and discussions on Cloud Computing standards
among the SDOs.
– To develop the harmonized standards roadmap
on Cloud Computing in more collaborative ways.
– To encourage the joint standards activities.

Proposed Resolution
• It is proposed to add the followings into the
resolution GSC15/32 (Cloud Computing)
– (for Considering)
• g) Cloud Computing as a high interest subject
needs to be more actively standardized
through Global Standards Collaboration
– (for Resolves)
• 2) In particular, it needs strengthening global
collaboration for Cloud Computing Standards
setting through GSC members.

Infrastructure & network enabled
Cloud
4
To provide a complete overview of main ITU-T and SDOs cloud
Overview of SDOs involved in cloud standard activities, to map the FG Cloud activities to these SDOs
computing
and to produce a gap analysis from telecom perspectives.
Scope of Deliverables
To provide cloud definitions and taxonomies, and to introduce cloud
ecosystem, use cases and high level requirements focusing on
integration of cloud model and technologies in telecommunication.
To define functional requirements and reference architecture
including layers and functional entities.
To provide general description and functional requirements of the
infrastructure & network enabled cloud including related key
network components.

cloud users and service providers and to propose cloud security
study items to be worked in ITU-T.
6
Benefits from telecommunication
Perspectives
To propose a first set of cloud benefits from service provider,
partner and user perspectives, to identify the general role of
telecommunication players in cloud computing.
7
To provide an analysis of major standards gaps in cloud resource
