Abstract

Cloud computing is a new enabler for scientific discovery. The current barriers in adopting it on large scale are including low code portability and low availability of the proper support tools. This paper discuss the special needs of the scientific applications consuming Cloud services and how they are supported by the Multi-Cloud middlewares. A recent developed middleware for managing the consumption of Multi-Cloud services is considered as case study.
