*OVERVIEW*

Applications and experiments in all areas of science are becoming
increasingly complex and more demanding in terms of their computational and
data requirements. Some applications generate data volumes reaching
hundreds of terabytes and even petabytes. As scientific applications become
more data intensive, the management of data resources and dataflow between
the storage and compute resources is becoming the main bottleneck.
Analyzing, visualizing, and disseminating these large data sets has become
a major challenge and data intensive computing is now considered as the
''fourth paradigm'' in scientific discovery after theoretical,
experimental, and computational science.

DataCloud 2012 will provide the scientific community a dedicated forum for
discussing new research, development, and deployment efforts in running
data-intensive computing workloads on Cloud Computing infrastructures. The
DataCloud 2012 workshop will focus on the use of cloud-based technologies
to meet the new data intensive scientific challenges that are not well
served by the current supercomputers, grids or compute-intensive clouds. We
believe the workshop will be an excellent place to help the community
define the current state, determine future goals, and present architectures
and services for future clouds supporting data intensive computing.
