On Sept 22rd the Open World forum will host a 2h plenary session on Open Cloud. On Sept 23th it will be followed by a series of case studies from users of software that the panelist represent. Round table: The plenary will start by a Keynote from Bill McNee which will then be followed by a round table with Vendors and Project leaders in the Cloud space. How can the cloud be resilient to failures, what costs does it add to application development when developping on top of a PaaS or a IaaS infrastructure? Have cloud technologies progressed enough at this point that interoperability has reach a level where cloud federations can be deployed today?
