DOE can pioneer a 21st Century cloud-based science workflow ecosystem; in so doing, it will transform and accelerate discovery

In this two-page white paper prepared for a US Department of Energy workshop on scientific workflow, I make two main points: 1) A research program in scientific workflow can deliver transformational new methods that accelerate discovery across the entire scientific enterprise. 2) DOE has the opportunity to lead the scientific community to a new era of 21st Century workflow based on massive outsourcing of activities to cloud services.

本白皮书为美国能源部（US Department of Energy）主办的科学工作流（scientific workflow）研讨会撰写，全文共两页，文中提出两大核心论点：1. 科学工作流相关研究计划可催生变革性的全新方法，加速整个科研领域的发现进程；2. 美国能源部（DOE）拥有引领科学界迈入基于大规模活动云服务外包的21世纪工作流新时代的机遇。
