Cloud Computing has been the subject of a lot of hype, but also offers a range of exciting possibilities for researchers. Commercial suppliers of Infrastructure-as-a-Service and Platform-as-a-Service Clouds offering pay-as-you-go computing and storage present new opportunities and challenges for researchers, institutions, and funders.
The focus of the workshop will be on meeting research needs, rather than on the technology of cloud computing. Attendees need not have extensive knowledge about Cloud Computing or be actively involved in using it.
