Extending the capabilities of PC, Web, and mobile applications through on-demand cloud services will significantly broaden the research community's capabilities, accelerating the pace of engineering and scientific discovery in this age of data-driven research. The net effect will be the democratization of research capabilities that are now available only to the most elite scientists. To make this vision a reality, the computer systems research community must develop new approaches to building client-plus-cloud applications to support a new type of science, and many technical challenges exist.
