Increasingly, scientists are performing analyses, <b class="">sharing</b> data and <b class="">collaborating</b> on <b class="">research</b> papers in the cloud. Scientists must rethink how they will leverage this new environment to analyze their model and observational data in the future when our “workstations” are in the cloud. Developers need to reach <b class="">across infrastructure</b> boundaries <b class="">transparently</b> with <b class="">scalable</b> solutions, while effectively moving processing and analysis, but not control, away from users and closer to the data. Innovative approaches are needed to support the scientific <b class="">data life cycle</b> within widely distributed and diverse infrastructures. Methods borrowed from optimization, <b class="">machine learning</b> and <b class="">semantics</b>, not excluding others, can be useful towards reducing complexity while increasing usefulness and uptake. Contributions may include novel architectures or use-cases that support seamless <b class="">access</b> and <b class="">processing</b> of <b class="">large scientific datasets</b>, e.g. CMIP6.</span></font><font class=""><span class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></span></font></font></div></div><div class=""><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><o:p class=""><font face="HelveticaNeue" class=""> </font></o:p></div></div><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><font face="HelveticaNeue" class=""><span class="" style="background-color: white;">Presentations are encouraged on, but are not limited to:</span><o:p class=""></o:p></font></div><div class=""><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><font face="HelveticaNeue" class=""><span class="apple-tab-span"><span class="" style="background-color: white;"> </span></span><span class="" style="background-color: white;">• Novel research architectures;</span><o:p class=""></o:p></font></div></div><div class=""><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><font face="HelveticaNeue" class=""><span class="apple-tab-span"><span class="" style="background-color: white;"> </span></span><span class="" style="background-color: white;">• Workflows and intelligent optimization;</span><o:p class=""></o:p></font></div></div><div class=""><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><font face="HelveticaNeue" class=""><span class="apple-tab-span"><span class="" style="background-color: white;"> </span></span><span class="" style="background-color: white;">• HPC integration and data-driven approaches, including HPC on the Cloud;</span><o:p class=""></o:p></font></div></div><div class=""><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><font face="HelveticaNeue" class=""><span class="apple-tab-span"><span class="" style="background-color: white;"> </span></span><span class="" style="background-color: white;">• Provenance;</span><o:p class=""></o:p></font></div></div><div class=""><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><font face="HelveticaNeue" class=""><span class="apple-tab-span"><span class="" style="background-color: white;"> </span></span><span class="" style="background-color: white;">• Front-ends and services designed for large-scale data-oriented solutions.</span><o:p class=""></o:p></font></div></div><div class=""><div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><font face="HelveticaNeue" class=""><span class=""><br class="">We look forward to a stimulating set of talks and discussions, and hope that you will consider participating.
