"The Brazilian Institute of Information for Science and Technology (IBICT), and the Brazilian National
Research and Education Network (RNP) are engaged in promoting a National Programme for Open
Access to Research Data. This programme demands, among other issues, physical and software
infrastructure. Some of this infrastructure will be based on data clouds with specific demands to deal
with Research Data, such as preservation, privacy, findability. Those challenges seem quite
appropriate for the Cloudscape community."
Leonardo Lazarte, Brazilian Institute of Information for Science and
Technology - Brazil
"I am particularly interested in the integration of Cloud and Cyber-physical
Systems and Systems of Systems, where IoT and Big Data have to merge. I
