This workshop will focus on key areas to address in order for the potential of cloud computing for research to be fully realised:
- Tackling technical challenges around the use of cloud: for example, porting legacy workloads, scenarios for hybrid cloud, moving large data volumes, use of object storage vs. POSIX file systems.
- Cloud as enabler for new and novel applications: e.g. use of public cloud toolkits and services around Machine Learning, AI, use of FPGAs and GPU based systems, applications related to Internet of Things and Edge Computing
- Perspectives from European and international collaborations and research programmes
- Policy, legal, regulatory and ethical issues, models for funding – case studies for managing sensitive or personal data in the cloud
- Addressing the skills gap: how to educate researchers in how to best take advantage of cloud; DevOps and ResOps
To give a flavour, you can read about last year’s workshop here or look at the programme from last time.
