Cloud and Edge Computing

OpenFog Consortium--OpenFog Reference Architecture for Fog Computing is adopted by this standard. OpenFog Reference Architecture [OPFRA001.020817] is a structural and functional prescription of an open, interoperable, horizontal system architecture for distributing computing, storage, control and networking functions closer to the users along a cloud-to-thing continuum of communicating, computing, sensing and actuating entities. It encompasses various approaches to disperse Information Technology (IT), Communication Technology (CT) and Operational Technology (OT) Services through information messaging infrastructure as well as legacy and emerging multi-access networking technologies

This standard specifies formats and methods for floating-point arithmetic in computer systems: standard and extended functions with single, double, extended, and extendable precision, and recommends formats for data interchange. Exception conditions are defined and standard handling of these conditions is specified.

An architecture framework description for the Internet of Things (IoT) which conforms to the international standard ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010:2011 is defined. The architecture framework description is motivated by concerns commonly shared by IoT system stakeholders across multiple domains (transportation, healthcare, Smart Grid, etc.). A conceptual basis for the notion of things in the IoT is provided and the shared concerns as a collection of architecture viewpoints is elaborated to form the body of the framework description.

How Uniform Resource Name (URN) values are allocated in IEEE 802(R) standards is described in this amendment to IEEE Std 802(R)-2014.

ISO/IEC 27017 gives guidelines for information security controls applicable to the provision and use of cloud services by providing:

Cloud Customer Architecture for Web Application Hosting describes vendor-neutral best practices for hosting web applications using cloud computing. The architectural elements described in this paper are needed to instantiate a web application hosting environment using private, public, or hybrid cloud deployment models.

The Cloud Trust Protocol (CTP) is designed to be a mechanism by which cloud service customers can ask for and receive information related to the security of the services they use in the cloud, promoting transparency and trust.

Privacy Level Agreement - Version 2 is intended to be used as an appendix to a Cloud Services Agreement, and to describe the level of privacy protection that the CSP will provide. While Service Level Agreements (“SLA”) are generally used to provide metrics and other information on the performance of the services, PLAs will address information privacy and personal data protection practices.

The NIST Cloud Computing Security Working group was created to achieve broad collaboration between Federal and private stakeholders in efforts to address the security-related concerns expressed by Federal managers. One of the tasks of the NIST Cloud Computing Working Group is to design a Cloud Computing Security Reference Architecture that supplements SP 500-292: NIST Cloud Computing Reference Architecture (RA) with a formal model and identifies the core set of Security Components recommended for building a successful and secure cloud computing Ecosystem. The document provides for an understanding of the security interdependencies of cloud services, Actors, and requirements that USG agency technical planning and implementation teams and agency procurement offices should identify and address in order to acquire cloud services with security levels that meets agency needs.Under development

The ATIS Cloud Services Forum is examining a number of services that establish the foundation for development, operations, deployment, and management of cloud-based services. These include content delivery, telepresence, and virtual desktop. Video services, including the already-present one-way and growing two-way communications, will be a substantial catalyst for additional growth and expansion of the Internet. Telepresence services provide a business model and architectural model that are foundational to cloud services, and provide important elements of the Cloud Services Data Model for Cloud Service Enablers. This specification focuses on telepresence services, recognizing that telepresence services are an integral part of a broader unified communications solution set.

The NIST Cloud Computing Standards Roadmap Working Group has surveyed the existing standards landscape for interoperability, performance, portability, security, and accessibility standards/models/studies/use cases/conformity assessment programs, etc., relevant to cloud computing. Where possible, new and emerging standardization work has also been tracked and surveyed. Using this available information, current standards, standards gaps, and standardization priorities are identified within this document.

ISO/IEC 17788 provides an overview of cloud computing along with a set of terms and definitions. It is a terminology foundation for cloud computing standards.
