CloudSpan: Enabling Scientific Computing Across Cloud and Grid Platforms

Grid computing has been established within the Nuclear Physics community as paradigm for data sharing and computational analysis on a massive scale. Cloud computing has recently emerged as a paradigm in which users lease the resources required to maintain and create virtual storage and computational elements in shared hosting environment. This project will develop an infrastructure that allows users to execute their scientific applications seamlessly in either environment.
