SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NIST hosted seven prior Cloud Computing 
Forum and Workshop events in May 2010, November 2010, April 2011, 
November 2011, June 2012, January 2013 and March 2014. This year's 
meeting will focus on the progress the cloud community has made on the 
10 requirements provided in the USG Cloud Computing Technology Roadmap 
(NIST Special Publication 500-293). The NIST Cloud Computing Program 
(NCCP) published the final version of the Roadmap in October 2014.
    Each of the 10 requirements described in the Roadmap comes with a 
set of Priority Action Plans (PAPs) that are self-tasking for the cloud 
computing community. Therefore, the NCCP is sponsoring a call for 
papers that address the Requirements and PAPs found in the Roadmap and 
welcomes relevant submissions for a talk approximately 15-20 minutes 
long. Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to present their 
work. Additional information may be found at: http://www.nist.gov/itl/cloud/ccfwviii.cfm.
    There will be a single-day parallel meeting on Thursday, July 9 on 
Cloud Forensics, which will focus on the issues enumerated in the NIST 
Cloud Computing Forensic Science Challenges (NIST IR 8006, draft). 
There will also be sessions dedicated to deployments of cloud computing 
in the government sector (Federal, State, Local) and on Cloud Computing 
Standards.
    The series of workshops was originally organized in response to the 
request of the U.S. Chief Information Officer that NIST lead federal 
efforts on standards for data portability, cloud

[[Page 33484]]

interoperability, and security.\1\ The workshops' goals are to engage 
with industry, academia, and standards development organizations 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; report progress on the NIST-led initiative to collaboratively 
develop a U.S. Government (USG) Cloud Computing Technology Roadmap 
among multiple federal and industrial stakeholders; and to advance the 
dialogue among all of these stakeholders.

July 10, 2015, space will be available for 25 academic, industry, and 
standards development organizations to exhibit their respective Cloud 
Computing work at an exhibit table. The first 25 organizations 
requesting an exhibit table related to Cloud Computing will be 
accepted. Interested organizations should contact Tara Brown, email: 
[email protected] or (301) 975-4178. Requests for an exhibit table 
will be granted on a first-come, first-serve basis. 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. NIST is not liable with 
regard to damage or loss of equipment used in the exhibit booth/table.
