Cloud Futures: Advancing Research and Education with Cloud Computing
Redmond, WA | June 2-3, 2011
http://research.microsoft.com/cloudfutures2011/

Call for Abstracts & Participation

Cloud computing is an exciting platform for research and education.   
Cloud computing has the potential to advance scientific and  
technological progress by making data and computing resources readily  
available at unprecedented economy of scale and nearly infinite  
scalability.  To realize the full promise of cloud computing for  
research and education, however, we must think about the cloud as a  
holistic platform for creating new services, new experiences, and new  
methods to pursue research, teaching and scholarly communication.   
This goal presents a broad range of interesting questions.

We invite extended abstracts that illustrate the role of cloud  
computing across a variety of research and educational areas--- 
including  computer science, engineering, earth sciences, healthcare,  
humanities, life sciences, and social sciences---that highlight how  
new techniques and methods of research in the cloud may solve distinct  
challenges arising in those diverse areas.  Please include a bio (150  
words max) and a brief abstract (300 words max) of a 30-minute short  
talk on a topic that describes practical experiences, experimental  
results, and vision papers.

Workshop agenda and updates will be posted at http://research.microsoft.com/cloudfutures2011/

Please submit your abstract by April 19, 2011 to cloudfut at microsoft.com

Invited talks will be announced on April 27, 2011
