DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:ABSTRACT: We are entering the era of data driven science.  Moore’s law has not only increased the power and decreased the cost of computers but also of the instruments that produce experimental data.  Scientists in a wide variety of disciplines are producing unprecedented volumes of data that is transforming science. =0A=0AAlthough collaborations that collect very large datasets can build their own cyber infrastructure, there is currently no cyber infrastructure that can provide a long term home for medium to large size scientific datasets.=0A=0AThe Open Science Data Cloud (OSDC) was developed to fill this gap.  It is a cloud-based infrastructure that allows scientists to manage, analyze, integrate and share medium to large size scientific datasets.  It is operated and managed by the not-for-profit Open Cloud Consortium.=0A=0ACome to this Session to learn more about the OSDC and how to collaborate with the OSDC on research projects involving data intensive computing.
