The conference focused on challenges and opportunities in cloud computing in emerging markets. The event brought together leaders in cloud computing from various walks of life such as academics, government, industry, etc from different parts of the globe. Some of the prominent leaders were Kris Gopalakrishnan, Vice-chairman, Infosys, Manish Israni, Vice President - IT Infrastructure, Vodafone India, Prof. S. Sadagopan, Director of IIIT, Bangalore among others.

The head of cloud practice at Neev Technologies attended the event on October 17^th.  Here is his account of the proceedings on the second day of the event:

There was a good deal of discussion about SaaS services crossing national boundaries and thereby the need for policies and governance to protect consumers from an SLA & privacy perspective.

• There was a presentation on a framework for dynamically utilizing multiple cloud service providers in order to meet cost goals and the benefits associated with it. This presentation also covered market-oriented cloud computing.
• There was talk about how wearable computing and sensors (particularly in healthcare) is going to result in a lot of data and the inescapable use of cloud for such use-cases. There was also a demonstration of such a mobile app that linked into a wearable sensor device and provided real-time health stats to a doctor via the cloud.
• A paper presentation covered a possible model for cloud providers to create dynamic pricing by calculating the number of ‘healthy’ instances and using the dynamic amount of provisioning as per the demand at any time.

The day also had presentations by the likes of Kris Gopalakrishnan (in pic).
