The IEEE 2302–2021 Standard on Intercloud Interoperability and Federation: Seamless Cloud-agnostic Interoperability Management for Resource Discovery, Access and Trust

This column in Cloud Continuum is titled “Frontiers in Software, Architecture, and Standards” or “Frontiers” for short. It will cover emerging design and implementation patterns being used to lay the software, architecture, and standards groundwork for new functional capabilities in the cloud-to-edge continuum. In it, we'll use articles, interviews, and contributions from leading proponents for new cloud tools to explain how they are being developed and designed to work together and the capabilities they provide. Wherever possible, we'll focus on areas that include opportunities for open source development and community involvement in carrying out these advances.
