In addition to the other activities at these conferences, OGF will host its own BOF and tutorial sessions, working group and community implementation group meetings on topics related to OGF technologies in a wide variety of areas in advanced distributed computing.

OGF is co-sponsoring the 2nd International Workshop on Autonomic Management of high performance Grid and Cloud Computing (AMGCC’14) co-located there, to take place on Friday, September 12, 2014, and note that the CAC 2014 conference also includes the 2014 International Workshop on Autonomic Cloud Cybersecurity (ACC '14) to take place Monday, September 8.
