Science services

• Lots of case studies, and experiences• So, now what...?• (Doc) resources:

– Advice/business case– Case studies

• Writeup to be published?– Look for suitable venue for publishing

Next steps

• Position paper submitted?– Publication (peer review, DOI)– Question still left open

How to explore

• OGF science-in-the-cloud-CG...– Does “grid” put off communities?– Provides wiki, mailing list

• EGI fed’d cloud WG– Co-host with EGI (next year)

How to evaluate (and reuse)

• Science gateways – domain specific• Cloud interfaces – domain specific?• Implementations of the standards

– Do they work – Interoperation

• Could tie into OGF activities?

Solving the common problems

• Bridging the gap(s)• Big science/Long tail• Developing (science) for the cloud• Skills• Exploring commercial cloud cost models for

science use work with funding bodies?

Thanks!

• EPSRC – “elastic” funding • OGF – in particular Joel

Replogle, and Alan Sill• David Wallom, OeRC• Programme Committee –
