CALL FOR PARTICIPATION - SuperCompCloud 2020

********************************************************************
SuperCompCloud 2020: 3rd Workshop on Interoperability of Supercomputing 
and Cloud Technologies
https://sites.google.com/view/supercompcloud

To be held virtually in conjunction with Supercomputing 2020 
(https://sc20.supercomputing.org)
November 11, 2020 - 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM EST
********************************************************************

WORKSHOP ABSTRACT
------------------------

This workshop aims at bringing together a group of experts and 
practitioners from academia, national laboratories, and industry to 
discuss technologies, use cases and best practices in order to set a 
vision and direction for leveraging high performance, extreme-scale 
computing and on-demand cloud ecosystems. Topics of interest include 
tools and technologies enabling scientists for adopting scientific 
applications to cloud interfaces, interoperability of HPC and cloud 
resource management and scheduling systems, cloud and HPC storage 
convergence to allow a high degree of flexibility for users and 
community platform developers, continuous integration/deployment 
approaches, reproducibility of scientific workflows in distributed 
environment, and best practices for enabling X-as-a-Service model at 
scale while maintaining a range of security constraints.

This workshop will cover topics related to interoperability of 
supercomputing and cloud computing, networking and storage technologies 
that are being leveraged by use cases and research infrastructure 
providers with a goal to improve productivity and reproducibility of 
extreme-scale scientific workflows.
