	K-04 Thursday, June 10, 10:30-11:15	Enterprise Networking Journey to Cloud Computing John McCool Senior Vice President / General Manager Data Center, Switching and Services Group Cisco Systems Inc. Corporate IT is facing the transformation of their networks as they deal with the explosion of information and demands from their enterprise employees, customers and partner. From employees using personal mobile devices from anywhere in the world to access business information on virtual machines in your data centers, to customers or partners accessing video support information hosted transparently by a third party cloud service provider. Because cloud computing fundamentally changes how we manage data, design applications, and build companies, Corporate IT must figure out how to evolve their enterprise network and compute infrastructure to integrate cloud computing options, while ensuring that connectivity is delivered securely, reliably, and seamlessly to anyone, anything, anywhere, anytime. The reality is that businesses don’t have the luxury of throwing away today’s infrastructure in favor of new architectures, so evolving your existing network is the only cost effective and efficient way. Come hear John McCool discuss how innovations in virtualization, compute, and networking are forging a clear path to enterprise cloud adoption and how you can evolve your existing infrastructure investments to deliver on user demands while driving new enterprise business models with cloud computing. McCool will bring forth his customer’s perspectives to address the industry trends and technology challenges in building a flexible and evolving network architecture that can support the enterprise demands from mobile users and virtualized data centers to cloud services. <Speaker Biography> John McCool is Senior Vice President and General Manager of Cisco’s Data Center, Switching and Services Group (DSSG).

	K-07 Friday, June 11, 10:30-11:15	Overview of NIST Smart Grid Activities David H. Su Chief Information Technology Laboratory Advanced Network Technologies Division National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) In recent years the high cost of energy makes the modernization of the electric power grid a major national priority in many countries with goals to increase energy efficiency and enhance power system reliability. The major focus is to take advantage of advances in electronic industry that enable intelligent electronic devices, smart meters, sensors, actuators, and appliances, the power of information technologies, and the pervasive availability of communications networks. The integration of these capabilities make “smart grid” feasible. This talk presents the Smart Grid Interoperability Standards Project undertaken by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) of the United States. The NIST efforts focus on the following application areas: power transmission and distribution systems, response to peak demands, electric storage, electric vehicles, and advanced metering infrastructure. In order to expedite development of standards related to smart grid and to ensure their interoperability, NIST has established many Priority Action Plans covering areas supporting metering, enhanced customer interactions with the smart grid, smart grid communications, distribution and transmission, new smart grid technologies, and cyber security for smart grid. The talk will cover these in details. <Speaker Biography> Dr. David Su is the Chief of the Advanced Network Technologies Division of the Information Technology Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a premier US Government research laboratory on standards and measurement sciences. He has been leading a group of scientists to conduct research in the area of modeling, testing, performance measurement, and standardization of emerging communications protocols, including wireless networks, optical networks, internet, and critical infrastructure protection.

	K-08 Friday, June 11, 11:30-12:15	To achieve an unpolluted digital society Eugene Kaspersky CEO Kaspersky Lab Nowadays malwares are making a rapid growth in terms of both quantity and quality. There are vast number of malwares produced day by day. Especially since 2008 they have been marking an explosive increase. In 2009, we detected 33 millions of malwares, which almost doubled 18 millions in 2008. Meanwhile, we have observed a more serious sign in the activities of malware. Channels of their infection have gradually changed; in the 1990s viruses via file media, in the early 2000s worms via emails, and since 2005 Trojans via web pages. It means that malwares have been evolving themselves in response to IT trends. While web service is getting more interactive according to the concept of Web 2.0, cyber criminals are getting more and more experienced; they exploit various methods for spreading malwares. Besides, cyber criminals are now highly motivated in getting money rather than fun. As a result their cyber attacks are totally indiscriminate. They aim at all type of internet users; personal users, enterprises, and even governments. Unfortunately, no governments seem to have yet managed to provide any definitive countermeasure against current threats. It is important to realize that cyber attacks have no border; wherever we dwell our life is never without digital threats from somewhere. The purposes of this session are to introduce the way to defend ourselves against such threats and to achieve an unpolluted digital society in cooperation with you audiences. <Speaker Biography> Eugene co-founded Kaspersky Lab in 1997, and in 2007 was named CEO of the company. Eugene’s interest in computer viruses dates back to 1989 when he detected the Cascade virus on his computer. From 1991 to 1997 Eugene worked at the KAMI Information Technologies Center where he developed the AVP antivirus project with a group of associates (AVP was renamed Kaspersky Anti-Virus in November 2000). Eugene has a degree in mathematics from the Russian Institute of Cryptography, Telecommunications and Computer Science. He is the author of numerous articles and reviews on computer virology and a regular speaker at international seminars and conferences.

	S-09 Thursday, June 10, 15:30-16:15 [Sponsor: Embassy of Canada to Japan]	Cloud Computing, The Next Generation -- Interoperability, Security, Availability, and Power Efficiency Richard Reiner Chairman and CEO of Enomaly Inc, Creator and Founder of The Cloud Computing Interoperability Forum(CCIF) This presentation focuses on the innovations being prepared today to enable Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS ) to take on greater roles in the IT environments of businesses and other organizations, and to address use cases that most organizations would not consider for cloud computing today. The tow key IaaS trends — the arrival of utility computing services offered by telcos and service providers, i.e. “public clouds”, and the creation of “private clouds” for their own use within the datacenters of individual organizations — are transforming the global technology landscape. However, before IaaS can reach its full potential, several significant challenges will need to be overcome: ・IaaS and other cloud platforms today do not provide interoperability or workload portability, ""resulting in cloud lock-in"" ・Cloud platforms are seen as having inferior security to conventional IT deployment models ・Today's IaaS platforms do not easily provide high availability or fault tolerance ・Most cloud platforms do not efficiently optimize power consumption and distribution ・Few cloud platforms enable pooling of compute resources across disparate geographies This presentation focuses on the solutions that are being developed to meet these challenges, and the new business models these innovations will enable, from the perspective of leading cloud platform technology developers, and that of the Cloud Computing Interoperability Forum, the leading standards incubator in the cloud space. <Speaker Biography> Dr. Reiner is Chairman and CEO of Enomaly, a pioneer and leader in the cloud computing space, based in Toronto, Canada.
