"Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction." National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Forum May 2010 http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/SNS/cloud-computing/forum-workshop_may2010.html Cloud Computing concept... it's been around longer than you think "In 1984, John Gage and Bill Joy of Sun Microsystems were credited with saying, "The network is the computer," one of the most memorable slogans of the information age. This concept, based on the tenet of making computing resources available to all users irrespective of location, as long as they are connected to the network, forms the basis of the Internet as we know it, and foretold the advent of cloud computing."

  • Introduction to John GAGE
    John GAGE USA Harvard Kennedy School of Government, Harvard Graduate School of Business Doctoral work in mathematics and economics at the University of California, Berkeley Chief Researcher & Director of the Science Office Sun Microsystems “As we enter the millennium of networked symbolic machines, we are creating new notations – condensed symbolic thought – combining the power of persistence with the fertility of interplay and exchange. An interactive symbiosis between man and machine becomes possible, allowing a new palette of creative forms to emerge.” John GAGE Introductionby Gottlieb GUNTERN John Gage left the University of California at Berkeley in 1982 to join Bill Joy at Sun Microsystems. Sun is now a ten-billion dollar company leading the world in scientific workstations, servers, and supercomputers. As Sun's Chief Researcher, Gage is responsible for Sun's relationship with world scientific and technical organisations, for international public policy and governmental relations in the areas of scientific and technical policy, as well as for alliances with the world's leading research institutions and laboratories. In 1995 Gage created NetDay, a volunteer project to bring the resources of world high-technology companies to all schools and libraries so as to connect them to the Internet. He is the host of a worldwide satellite television programme, Sunergy, that explores the frontiers of computing, networking, science and mathematics. Sunergy broadcasts quarterly from different countries, focussing on worldwide developments that most affect the global scientific and technical enterprise. Gage has been a member of scientific advisory panels for the US National Research Council, the National Academy of Sciences, the US Congressional Office of Technology Assessment, the Technical Advisory Panel of France, and the Multimedia Super Corridor project of Malaysia.

  • Knowledge Management & Impact Monitoring Strategy
    DELIVERABLE D.T3.4.5 REPORT ON KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT & IMPACT MONITORING Round-Up Report June, 2020 Author: Lubelskie Voivodeship 1 Identification WP Activity Deliverable Document A.T3.4: Final version Knowledge T3: RI Pilot Actions D.T3.4.5- KM/ IM Round- Management and up Report and materials Impact Monitoring 1. About this document Lubelskie Voivodeship (PP11) plays a role of the coordinator of WPT3 RI Pilot Actions. The action has been implemented in 9 partner local areas in 7 EU Member States. According to Knowledge Management and Impact Monitoring Methodology adopted for implementation in March 2018, the monitoring system consists of information on the implementation of the pilot phase under WPT3 provided by PPs in the form of reports on the PA progress (Pilot Action in partner local areas) and recommendations/opinions PPs on possible improvements of these processes (Knowledge Exchange in ROSIE'S partnership) The first stage of WPT3 was the Capacity Building Program where entrepreneurs have been informed about the innovative RI tools proposed in the ROSIE project. This was done through in- person trainings, informative on-line trainings as well as the training modules uploaded at PPs 2 websites. Some PPs decided to introduce the topic as the training modules on their websites and then develop it in the Action Pilot phase in form of Design Thinking workshops, after the selection of PA participants. The PA tools were adapted at the diagnosis and implementation stage in each enterprise depending on the specifics of their operation, the possibilities of the enterprise's involvement in the Pilot Action, the amount of time available for work under WPT3 and the available human resources.

  • Media Advisory
    Media Advisory Technology Visionary John Gage Joins OSET Institute Board to Drive U.S. and Global Election Security Initiatives Palo Alto, CA—(Business Wire)—March 15, 2018—The OSET Institute announces today that veteran technologist John Gage has joined its Board of Directors. Mr. Gage brings decades of technology thought leadership to OSET. His focus will be extending the Institute’s work on innovating election technology to democracies worldwide. John was a member of the founding team of Sun Microsystems, and Chief Researcher and Director of its Science Office until 2008. From 2008-2010 he was a partner at the venture capital firm of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers focused on green technologies. Gage has served on national and international advisories and boards including the Markle Task Force on National Security, whose reports helped in reorganizing US intelligence agencies. John currently serves on the United Nations Task Force on Digital Health, and the Human Needs Project, where in 2012 he helped build a networked water source and treatment plant in Nairobi, Kenya. For 12-years Mr. Gage hosted the JavaOne conference, convening 20,000 Java developers, and establishing the Java language in over 95% of mobile devices as the basis of the open source Android operating system. Of particular value to OSET, John participates in international election observation in several countries, including the most recent Kenyan national election. “The OSET Institute’s voting technology project is one of the most important public initiatives I’ve encountered,” said Mr. Gage. “After careful assessment of the design and the way they’ve engaged multiple elections stakeholders to confirm requirements, I’ve concluded this is a comprehensive engineering effort with global implication.” OSET CTO John Sebes observed, “Mr.
