Research Councils Workshop on Cloud Computing for Research
20 July 2010
On 20 July 2010, the Research Councils held a workshop in London to discuss the
opportunities and challenges in the use of cloud computing for research. The event
was co-chaired by Professors Malcolm Atkinson and David de Roure. It was attended
by around 50 people, including UK academics from across the Research Council disciplines,
providers of university e-Infrastructure, representatives of JISC, commercial cloud
providers (Microsoft, Amazon and IBM), and RC staff.
The aims of the meeting were:
- To enable networking and information exchange between key potential research
users of cloud, cloud computing vendors, and the Research Councils;
- the cloud vendors to brief attendees on the cloud computing services they
can offer;
- Highlight key opportunities in cloud computing for UK research;
- To discuss the issues around the use of cloud computing for academic research,
and how they can be addressed.
