DataCloud 2013 - The Fourth International Workshop on Data-Intensive Computing in the Clouds

Applications and experiments in all areas of science are becoming increasingly complex and more demanding in terms of their computational and data requirements. As scientific applications become more data intensive, the management of data resources and dataflow between storages and compute resources is becoming the main bottleneck. Analyzing, visualizing, and disseminating these large data sets has become a major challenge and data intensive computing is now considered as the “fourth paradigm” in scientific discovery after theoretical, experimental, and computational science.
The fourth international workshop on Data-intensive Computing in the Clouds (DataCloud 2013) will provide the scientific community a dedicated forum for discussing new research, development, and deployment efforts in running data-intensive computing workloads on Cloud Computing infrastructures. The DataCloud 2013 workshop will focus on the use of cloud-based technologies to meet the new data intensive scientific challenges that are not well served by the current supercomputers, grids or compute-intensive clouds.
This workshop is organized by Hui Jin from Oracle, Yong Zhao from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, and Ziming Zheng from the University of Chicago.
