Keynote:
Software Defined Federated Infrastructures for Science
Abstract: Software-defined platforms such as those enabled by Cloud services are widely adopted by enterprises. Clouds provide on-demand access to computing utilities, an abstraction of unlimited computing resources, and support for on-demand scale up, scale down and scale out. Clouds are also rapidly joining high-performance computing system, clusters and Grids as viable platforms for scientific exploration and discovery. In this talk I will explore how elastic software-defined execution infrastructure based on the dynamic federation of resources can support emerging scientific and engineering application workflows with complex, dynamic, and data and compute intensive requirements. I will also explore how science and engineering applications can benefit from such infrastructure and abstractions and how they can lead to new paradigms and practices. This talk is based on research that is part of the CometCloud project at the NSF Cloud and Autonomic Computing Center at Rutgers.
