Today/ Internet Explorer Gallery. Australian public cloud market to grow, despite legal concerns: Gartner. Australia's legislative shortcomings will not stymie the growth of public cloud adoption in the enterprise, according to Gartner analyst Rolf Jester.
Australia's public cloud market is tipped to reach AU$2.4 billion this year, up 18.8 percent from 2011, based on research by Gartner. Enterprise spending in cloud services is on the up, with an expected growth rate of 16.9 percent from 2011 to 2016. Worldwide, public cloud will rake in US$109 billion in revenue in 2012, at a rate of around 17 percent from the previous year. There are fears Australia's legislative landscape may provide hurdles for the general cloud-computing market. Analysts have pointed out that the recent court case concerning Optus TV Now may scare off potential cloud providers that are looking to expand into the Australian market.

In 1989, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web, an Internet-based hypermedia initiative for global information sharing while at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory. He wrote the first web client and server in 1990. His specifications of URIs, HTTP and HTML were refined as web technology spread. He is Director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), a Web standards organization founded in 1994 that develops interoperable technologies (specifications, guidelines, software, and tools) to lead the Web to its full potential. He is a founding Director of the Web Science Trust (WST) launched in 2009 to promote research and education in Web Science, the multidisciplinary study of humanity connected by technology.
Berners-Lee is also a Director of the World Wide Web Foundation, launched in 2009 to coordinate efforts to further the potential of the Web to benefit humanity. In 2001 Berners-Lee became a Fellow of the Royal Society. Tim Berners-Lee.

Scientific research is increasingly carried out by communities of researchers that span disciplines, laboratories, organizations and national boundaries. These activities involve geographically distributed and heterogeneous resources such as computational systems, scientific instruments, databases, sensors, software components, networks, and people.

Blatecky will lead the OCI while a national search for a permanent OCI head is conducted. Jon Postel. Geeks Debate Consumerization of IT at Citrix Synergy.
The GeekSpeak panel debate on the consumerization of IT at Citrix Synergy provided some valuable insights to what IT pros are facing with today’s proliferation of personal devices and services.
The standing room only crowd of 900+ all seemed to have a genuine interest in hearing the industry experts talk about the problems and potential solutions to today’s IT problems with consumerization. Among the vocal geeks in the crowd were Citrix founder Ed Iacobucci and XenSource co-founder Simon Crosby. There was a consensus that most users do not intentionally disobey the polices set by IT, rather they are now more capable of finding ways to get their jobs done wherever and however they choose. And if they don’t hear about a workaround from a colleague, they can always Google it. Unfortunately these methods are also likely to cause security issues that expose a company’s IP or regulatory requirements. VeRSI: engaging, collaborating, developing ... bringing eResearch to researchers. Event Date and Time: Sun, 14/10/2012 - 12:00am - Wed, 17/10/2012 - 12:00am Many emerging services, such as tele-work, e-government and business solutions, are using cloud computing in various forms to their advantage.
Some businesses are providing services by outsourcing parts of their business processes, which are now hosted as cloud-based software services. Others are adopting cloud-based IT infrastructure to be able to host their outsourced services. This trend will be both economically and technically feasible only when the application services outsourced from various enterprises work seamlessly when deployed across multiple cloud platforms.
CollabCloud 2012 brings together researchers and practitioners from around the world to share their experiences on using 'single cloud' versus 'multiple clouds' and discuss the benefits of collaboration across clouds.
