# NSFCloud Workshop

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all who worked hard to make the NSFCloud Workshop a success – and contribute to the success of the NSFCloud program by sharing the requirements for experimental infrastructure with us!

The NSFCloud Workshop received an enthusiastic response from the community: the proceedings comprise 72 papers describing research challenges, experiments required to solve them, and the shape of experimental infrastructure needed to support them. Many of the authors were able to join us at the workshop and discuss those requirements in detail via participation in the focus groups that will directly influence the experimental requirements in the workshop report. Further, thirteen of the papers below, selected by our program committee, were invited to present in the lightning talk sessions available in the workshop video recordings.

Thank you again for sharing your requirements with us!
