CSE & eScience Colloquium: Science in the Cloud

CSE & eScience Colloquium: Science in the Cloud

Speaker: Joseph L. Hellerstein, Google Seattle

Abstract: This talk focuses on two case studies of doing science in the cloud. The first is large-scale simulations of the dynamics of a transmembrane protein that is a frequent target of drug therapies. The second case study addresses brain simulations and the challenges in developing biologically meaningful computational models. The case studies are used to identify issues with current approaches to computational discovery and productive directions for future research.
