There was an all day Workshop entitled "Strategies And Technologies for Cloud Computing Interoperability (SATCCI)" held in conjunction with the Object Management Group (OMG) March Technical Meeting on March 23, 2009, Hyatt Regency Crystal City, Arlington, VA, USA.
The SATCCI Workshop provided leaders in the Federal computing community with an overview of Cloud Interoperability/Portability issues and possible solutions. The goals of the Workshop were to increase the attendees understanding of this area, encourage ongoing participation from attendee organizations, and gather feedback on guidelines for open Cloud Computing deployments. This feedback should help guide future Cloud Computing standardization organization deliverables.
The motivation for directing the SATCCI Workshop at the Federal IT community is that the new administration will be making critical term papers technology funding decisions in the next few months. The SATCCI organizers invited representatives of major Federal computing organizations to attend and participate in this practical, productive, and timely Workshop.
