Scientific Community Clouds: Five Directors of Community Clouds Responsible for a Quarter Million Cores Worldwide
Working Groups

A must see panel for CEOs & CIOs: The largest community-driven clouds on the planet? Scientific cloud computing for collaborative research: governments in the EU (Horizon2020), USA (NSF), Taiwan (UniCloud Taiwan), France (Iana-GRID.5000) and Australia (NCRIS-NeCTAR) have made significant multi-million dollar investments in the creation of community driven scientific clouds. The infrastructure being used to operate these clouds is OpenStack. The purpose of this panel is to bring together key stakeholders and computation center decision makers from the research community to: a.) surface unmet needs, b.) identify current and near-term solution, and c.) explore the scope for how science communities can identify gaps for future cloud development.

If you have a question for the panel please post them in the chat area area of this document:
