As a result, understanding application formulations and usage modes that are meaningful in such a hybrid infrastructure, and how application workflows can effectively utilize it, is critical. This BOF will explore how Clouds can be effectively used to support real-world science and engineering applications, and will discusses key research challenges (from both, a computer science as well as an applications perspective) as well as a community research agenda.
