Simple Cloud ID

The announcement below was just

    distributed to an OASIS IdM group.

    

    The SCIM work is prominently on 

    the agenda for the conference.
    The

    SCIM effort appears to exist as a

    substantial industry forum with bindings

    to both OASIS and the IETF.  The

    standards forum page is at:
    

    http://www.simplecloud.info/
    

    

    How is this to be coordinated within

    TOSCA?  Now that the ITU-T FG

    Cloud material were formally submitted

    this afternoon in Geneva, it seems timely

    to begin herding the standards cats, no;

    and SCIM actually seems like an interesting

    platform that is similar to cloud related

    platforms being pursued in 3GPP SA3

    for the mobile world.

Call
                  for Papers - deadline extended to 16 January 2012 

            

            

                If you have not yet responded to the call for papers
                  there is still time .... 

            
The

                planning is well underway for this Annual European
                Identity Interoperability Conference and we now welcome
                programme contributions from you. Presenting at this
                conference is an ideal opportunity to share your
                organisations' thoughts, findings, ideas, and strategies
                on this important topic. You will also gain valuable
                feedback and alternative opinions and solutions from
                your industry peers. 

            
The

                last year has seen some dramatic industry developments
                and innovations; however, there are many issues that
                have still not been resolved. Now in its 7th year, this
                annual conference will address these and many other
                issues. Organised by EEMA, this conference acts as a
                neutral forum where industry, business and
                administrations can address specific areas of importance
                in the digital identity arena. It also facilitates the
                exchange of ideas amongst delegates who want to learn
                and build upon their knowledge in a relaxed,
                constructive environment. This year we will also be
                joined by TDL (Trust in Digital Life) who will be
                demonstrating various eID interoperability solutions and
                technologies. 

            
The

                conference will explore how the interoperability of
                European Identity is evolving in practise and the
                implications for governments, businesses and the citizen
                today. It will focus on key subject areas such as the
                emergence of federated attributes and we would like to
                receive presentation submissions - user case studies and
                best practices are particularly welcome (please note
                that product placement is not acceptable, and that
                non-eema member speakers will be asked to contribute a
                nominal amount of €150 to cover basic conference costs).

                invite you to propose a presentation or panel discussion
                - please respond to
                   with answers to the questions
                at the end of this message by 16th January 2012 and
                we will be back to you by the end of January.
