Brief Bio
Dr. Víctor Méndez Muñoz has a main background in big data management and distributed systems. He participated in scientific international projects in physics and bioinformatics like AGATA, LHCb, ENRM and EISCAT, collaborating with several more. Currently, he is Head of Software Development at Mind the Byte, a bioinformatics company specializing in computational drug discovery using a pay-per-use SaaS platform (Software as a Service). He also works in the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) as a part time professor. He holds the program chair in INSTICC conferences in the fields of cloud computing, big data, complexity and the internet of things, as well as editorial collaboration in some journals of high impact.

SCOPE

Federated Cloud Governance is an emerging topic which is to become one of the major issues in computer science, theoretical and practical, in the following years, as the Federated Clouds goes to production level. The target of the Special Session is to encourage discussion on the presented contributions and guidance for the general public of the conference, readers of the conference proceedings and to promote the dissemination of ideas among the eScience community.
Special Session on Federated Cloud Governance aims to formalize the problem domain and to define sensible approaches for the Governance of Federated Clouds. The scope is the eScience domain, including not only multi-community aggregations (NGI portals, multi-community portals, scientific gateways ) but also the integration of large and minor use cases ( pilot factories, job factories, science workflows, science applications).
Conceptual Problem is how to leverage Cloud resources through automatic management of supply and demand, attending to general policies defined by accredited actors for major periods or campaigns. Secondary, how to do the accounting of the resource usage in Federated Hybrid Clouds, which include Public and Private Cloud aggregations.
Special Session paper submissions can collect last years efforts in bottom-up apporaches from IaaS providers to federated infrastructures. Top-down propossals are also expected to contribute with high level approaches to mark the pace in the federated policies. Furthermore, cross approaches beyond the fronteir are also encouraged. The overall Special Session contribution is giving strength of combing the bottom-up and top-down approaches, opening the posibility for participant interactions and feedback in a Special Session final discussion slot.
