Today, I had a chance to attend Cloud Camp Seoul 2009 which was jointly organized by Enomaly and Korea Cloud Computing Association. It is a good experience to interact industry people, government people and academic people in a single forum. I had a chance to listen Reuven Cohen ("The Growth and Impact of Cloud Computing"), and Dr. Richard Reiner ("Challenges of Cloud Computing: Availability and Security"). I also meet them, its a wonderful moment there. Here I am listing some thoughts that I found missing in the CC camp, may be we can improve in future...
* I feel, they are trying to define cloud computing as more market oriented way...may be cloud came first in market from enterprise rather than academia that's why....
* In such camp it will better to involve paper presentation from academia, and researcher from research institutes also so that better interaction will be there...
* I feel, there is a need of tri-integration among Government, Enterprises and academic institutes. I think Government and Enterprises can be benefit from research work of academia, they should think how can involve universities in CC revolution, may be a we can think towards UniversityCloud or CampusCloud or providing them free cloud testbed for research purpose. So far as I know many researcher are worrying about free testbed so that we can have a concept to introduce "Research as a Service". So in future we can make a CC research-hub, it can be very useful to disseminate the "Knowledge as a Service" that we can utilize on various sectors such as K-12 education or Village Knowledge Center or telecenter or telemedicine sectors (these are few example of empowering community towards ICT and creating a sustainable infrastructure in poor and remote areas)
* I found Korean Government is investing much budget on CC and research work, this is very good indication for potential application area on CC.
* There are much concern of CC security and interoperability
