View Participants

Cloud systems for storage and computing have garnered substantial interest. There are many unanswered questions.
1) When are clouds applicable e.g. could (some of) TeraGrid workload be formulated as a cloud architecture
2) What features do they have -- performance, reliability, capacity ...
3) One likes to talk about services; is this the right way to think about clouds which are themselves "black boxes" -- a Narrow Grid of often proprietary services
4) What are the standards needed for Cloud use/interoperability; what is scope of Cloud interoperability
5) What is architecture (services, standards) of gateways to clouds i.e. what e-infrastructure will be used to manage use of multiple clouds
