Dr. James T. Yeh
Director of Strategy, Corporate Strategy, IBM Corporation |
 |
| Title: |
| The Many Colors and Shapes of Cloud |
| Abstract: |
| While many enterprises and business entities are deploying and exploiting Cloud Computing,
the academic institutes and researchers are also busy trying to wrestle this beast and put a leash on this possible paradigm changing computing model.
Many have argued that Cloud Computing is nothing more than a name change of Utility Computing.
Others have argued that Cloud Computing is a revolutionary change of the computing architecture.
So it has been difficult to put a boundary of what is in Cloud Computing, and what is not.
I assert that it is equally difficult to find a group of people who would agree on even the definition of Cloud Computing.
In actuality, may be all that arguments are not necessary, as Clouds have many shapes and colors.
In this presentation, the speaker will attempt to illustrate that the shape and the color of the cloud depend very much on the business goals one intends to achieve.
It will be a very rich territory for both the businesses to take the advantage of the benefits of Cloud Computing and the academia to integrate the technology research and business research. |

Prof. Chunming Rong
PCA Research Coordinator in China & University of Stavanger, Norway |
 |
| Title: |
| An Industrial Cloud: Integrated Operations in Oil and Gas in the Norwegian Continental Shelf |
| Abstract: |
In recent years, activities in oil and natural gas drilling remain high due to economic development and demand for natural resources.
A more efficient and manageable operations may ease some of the pressure and may even be environmental friendly.
OLF, a professional body and employer’s association for oil and supplier companies,
is heading the Integrated Operations (IO) initiative on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS).
IO consist of collaborative efforts in the oil and gas industry to support operational decisions about offshore installations by onshore control centres,
developing common standards, integrated solutions, and new technologies. OLF has decided to use ISO-15926 as the instrument for integrating data across disciplines and business domains.
POSC Caesar Association (PCA) is the leading global, not-for-profit, standardization organization for the process industry including oil and gas,
developing technology and solutions for integration of operational data processing and automatic decision making, based on ISO standards,
semantic web and cloud computing technologies. |
