We are entering the era of data driven science and big data.  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.

Although collaborations that collect very large datasets can build their 
own cyber infrastructure, there is currently a need for cyber 
infrastructure that can manage, analyze, archive and share medium to 
large size scientific datasets.

The Open Science Data Cloud (OSDC) was developed to fill this gap. It is 
operated and managed by the not-for-profit Open Cloud Consortium.

Come to this talk to learn more about the OSDC and how to collaborate 
with the OSDC on research projects involving data intensive computing.

With support from the NSF PIRE Program (NSF Award 1129076), the OSDC can 
support approximately 15 graduate students each year for six to eight 
weeks during the summer to learn about big data and data intensive 
computing and to work with one of our OSDC partners in the United 
Kingdom, Japan, China, Brazil or Korea.  The program is open to all US 
citizens or residents.
