9:05AM	Keynote Talk: Making Infrastructure Invisible	Abstract: History has shown that successful technologies are invisible, enriching and empowering the lives of their users without requiring them to know or understand the idiosyncrasies of the technology itself. Computation enabled discovery is poised on this threshold, to move researchers beyond the need for intimate knowledge of clusters, grids, clouds or other computing infrastructure. This talk will survey some of the challenges, both technical and sociological, that must be faced to enable this transformation.		Slides
