European Commission on Cloud
A workshop about “The Future of Cloud Computing” has been held in Brussels on the 26th of January. This workshop gathered 300 attendees from European Community and from other countries such as India, Japan and USA – this presence reminding the global nature of the topic and the necessity of international collaborations.
Organised by European Commission (EC), this event offered the opportunity for EC to expose the theme (see also agenda of the meeting) and to evaluate interest in the domain from European Academia and Industry. The first release of the report elaborated by an expert group, “The Future of Cloud Computing” was presented here (this report is available on http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/ict/ssai/docs/cloud-report-final.pdf and is open to comments).
In this workshop, the message “Cloud is the next big thing” was repeated clearly by all participants. Hope Europeans will understand it to re-energize European IT Industry.
