Abstract

Scientific discovery is in transition from a focus on data collection
to an emphasis on analysis and prediction using large scale computation.
These computations can be done with unused cycles in commercial Clouds
if there is appropriate software support. Moving science into the
Cloud will promote data sharing and collaborations that will accelerate
scientific discovery in the 21st century.
