I was there to give an invited talk and join the organising committee of the next year’s symposium. My talk (Slides here) was aimed at sharing our findings coming…
The Key Objectives and Attractions of NordiCloud 2013
Given the increasing relevance and popularity of cloud computing and lack of region specific community platforms for sharing ideas and knowledge, we founded a community platform for Nordic and Baltic countries to support collaboration in order to gain understanding of and solutions to socio-technical challenges of different aspects of cloud computing. That community platform was…
