Abstract
This session will examine technical and policy issues surrounding the migration of C4I systems to a cloud environment. How does evolving policy such as the recently published NIST 800-144 guidance on secure cloud computing establish a road map for moving C4I systems and services to the cloud? What are the performance concerns?

Abstract
Cloud computing is taking the commercial IT industry by storm because of its economic and operational advantages, yet it has seen limited adoption for C4I Missions. This panel will examine the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and challenges of cloud computing technology for C4ISR Mission applications and project whether, and to what extent, it will be applied in future C4I systems.

Abstract
  In a multi-tenant environment can we assure control at the level required for key C4I systems? How do we "exercise" the cloud and prove it is sufficiently hardened? When something goes wrong how do we solve problems in a coordinated way, quickly identifying the issue within the various layers of complexity? What unique concerns exist for disconnected/mobile users accessing on an ad-hoc basis?
