Keynote Address: Two Decades of IT Standardization in China - Challenges & Successes and a Comparison with IT Standardization in Europe and the United States
Dr. Laurent Liscia, Executive Director, Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS)

After providing a brief history of standardization in China, Laurent will discuss the rise of Chinese participation in de jure fora such as ISO, IEC and ITU-T; and the special challenges posed by market-driven consortia, as Cloud technologies rise and make it difficult to define standards. He will outline a proposal for a way forward based on more active participation in market-driven organizations.

  • Why TOSCA is Important to International Government Organizations
    Mr. Tobias Kunze, Cloud Platform Architect, Red Hat

    TOSCA is important to international government organizations because all agencies are being mandated to evaluate cloud-based solutions for all IT investments. No doubt, governments rely extensively on MANY vendors in the private sector to provide IT solutions. Key requirements for these solutions will be "no vendor lock-in" and standards for interoperability between services and topologies for service deployment, migration, maintenance and replacement. The portability and orchestration capabilities enabled by TOSCA will become even more important as the number of cloud vendors and offered services increases in response to greater cloud adoption. TOSCA standards will also enable easier integration and information sharing among agencies such as US homeland security, for example, disaster response, national defense and other government services. The overall impact of well-implemented standards is not only more efficient service for the constituency but also better ROI throughout the IT organization.
