OGF• Open Global Forum for advanced distributed computing

• An open global community committed to driving the rapid evolution and adoption of modern advanced applied distributed computing, including cloud, grid and associated storage, networking and workflow methods

• OGF is focused on developing and promoting innovative scalable techniques, applications and infrastructures to improve productivity in the enterprise and within the international research, science and business communities.

• OGF adheres to and endorses the OpenStand principles for open standards development

• OGF comprises both standards and community activities• Development of recommendations at the OGF

• Most often along with an (OS) implementation• Two stage process: proposed recommendation, full recommendation• Cooperation with other SDOs, e.g. liaisons

Fraunhofer InstituteSCAI• SCAI is one of 17 ICT institutes of 66 Fraunhofer Research

institutes• Staff (2016): 145 including postgraduates and students, • Budget (2016): € 10,5 m, share of industrial revenues (2016): 60 per cent,

share of total revenues (2016): 77 per cent• Research foci: simulation, numerics, financial mathematics, intelligent

material design, optimisation, bio-informatics• Bioinformatics: neurodegenerative diseases, text mining, virtual

screening• National and European projects, most often in conjunction with

development and application of standards• Most recent successful proposal: StandICT

• Supporting European Experts Presence in International Standardisation Activities in ICT in the areas of Cloud, IoT, Big Data, Cyber Security, 5G

• Identification of relevant standards under development, contracting of experts forcontributing in SDOs

• First call for experts in January 2018
