The Germany Institute of Standardization (Deutsches Institut für Normung – DIN) has initiated the process to develop a DIN SPEC (with the planned document number DIN SPEC 91337) in accordance with the PAS procedure dealing with “Unified Application Management Interface for Cloud Application Platforms”. This DIN SPEC will specify requirements for application programming interfaces (API) for applications on cloud platforms with the aim of optimizing the interoperability between platform-as-a-service solutions, tools and value-added services offered by third party providers. After publishing the respective business plan for four weeks on the DIN Website for comments and objections, the overall editing process has been officially launched with a kick off meeting that took place in DIN premises in Berlin, at March 17th, 2016. UBITECH has actively participated in the kick off meeting of DIN SPEC 91337, wherein the workshop members selected UBITECH’s R&D Director Dr. Panagiotis Gouvas for the role of the Workshop Leader.
