<b>OVERVIEW</b><br>
<br>
Applications and experiments in all areas of science are becoming
increasingly complex and more demanding in terms of their
computational and data requirements. Some applications generate
data volumes reaching hundreds of terabytes and even petabytes. As
scientific applications become more data intensive, the management
of data resources and dataflow between the storage and compute
resources is becoming the main bottleneck. Analyzing, visualizing,
and disseminating these large data sets has become a major
challenge and data intensive computing is now considered as the
''fourth paradigm'' in scientific discovery after theoretical,
experimental, and computational science.<br>
<br>
DataCloud 2012 will provide the scientific community a dedicated
forum for discussing new research, development, and deployment
efforts in running data-intensive computing workloads on Cloud
Computing infrastructures. The DataCloud 2012 workshop will focus
on the use of cloud-based technologies to meet the new data
intensive scientific challenges that are not well served by the
current supercomputers, grids or compute-intensive clouds. We
believe the workshop will be an excellent place to help the
community define the current state, determine future goals, and
present architectures and services for future clouds supporting
data intensive computing.<br>
