Date and Location: Thursday, April 4th, 2013, 11:00am - 12:00pm @ Stuart Building, Room 239.

Abstract

The FermiCloud Project has deployed a flexible Infrastructure-as-a-Service Private Cloud for scientific users at Fermilab.  Now together with our collaborators at the Korean Institute for Science and Technology Information we are launching a joint program of work to enable scientific workflows across multiple cloud facilities. We will describe a number of interesting development tasks in cloud provisioning, interoperability, and federation which will use FermiCloud, other community clouds, and commercial clouds.
