SUMMARY: NIST announces the Cloud Computing Forum & Workshop V to be
held on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, June 5, 6 and 7, 2012. The
format is a two-day forum followed by a one-day hands-on workshop. This
workshop will provide information on the U.S. Government (USG) Cloud
Computing Technology Roadmap initiative. This workshop will also
provide an updated status on NIST efforts to help develop open
standards in interoperability, portability and security in cloud
computing. This event is open to the public. In addition, NIST invites
organizations to participate as Exhibitors as described in the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below.
DATES: The Cloud Computing Forum & Workshop V will be held Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday, June 5, 6 and 7, 2012. Participants must pre-
register by close of business Tuesday, May 29, 2012. Please see

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NIST hosted four prior Cloud Computing Forum
& Workshop events in May 2010, November 2010, April 2011, and November
2011. The purpose of these workshops was to respond to the request of
the Federal Chief Information Officer to NIST to lead federal efforts
on standards for data portability, cloud interoperability, and
security. The workshops' goals were to engage with industry to
accelerate the development of cloud standards for interoperability,
portability, and security; discuss the Federal Government's experience
with cloud computing, report on the status of the NIST Cloud Computing
efforts, launch and report progress on the NIST led initiative to
collaboratively develop a USG Cloud Computing Technology Roadmap among
multiple federal and industrial stakeholders, and to advance a dialogue
between these groups. Building on the prior workshop events, the
purpose of the fifth NIST-hosted Cloud Computing Forum & Workshop is to
provide a forum to share international government perspectives on how
the Cloud Computing Information Technology model can be used to improve
public services, provide an update on NIST Cloud Computing working
group progress, and to showcase examples of academic, industry,
standards organizations and government partner efforts which relate to
the USG Cloud Computing Technology Roadmap priorities.
NIST invites members of the public, especially cloud computing
community stakeholders to participate in this event as exhibitors. On
Tuesday and Wednesday, June 5 and 6, 2012, space will be available for
30 academic, industry, and standards developing organizations to
exhibit their respective cloud computing work at a demonstration booth
or table which is co-located with the event. Interested organizations
should contact Romayne Hines at the email address or phone number given
in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section above. Exhibitors will
be accepted in the order in which their responses are received. The
first 30 organizations which respond will be accepted. Responses must
be submitted by an authorized representative of the organization.
Logistics information will be provided to accepted exhibitors. NIST
will provide the exhibit location space and one work table free of
charge. Exhibitors are responsible for the cost of the exhibit,
including staffing and materials. NIST reserves the right to exercise
its judgment in the placement of exhibits. General building security is
supplied; however, exhibitors are responsible for transporting and
securing exhibit equipment and materials.
Anyone wishing to attend this meeting must register at
