9. 9CSU FresnoCui Lin Current/Future Support C. Lin: Start-up and time-release from CSU Fresno Co-PI in NSF EPP renewal proposal (2012 – 2015) Chinese Collaborators: Existing funding from China until 2012, including short trips to the US to work on ATLAS projects Future: Apply NSFC (China’s NSF) or other external funding to work on ATLAS NSF EPP director and POs strongly encourage this collaboration because of ongoing collaboration between NSF and NSFC

10. Interest and Plan Research Interests: Scientific Workflow Management : dynamically scheduling and provisioning workflow data and compute resources located in clouds, grids and the combinations Cloud Computing: The design of cloud computing model with security and cost-effective considerations Plan: Identify project in the SMU workshop and develop a workplan to contribute to US ATLAS Computing Enclose the work plan in our NSF EPP renewal proposal by 10/26) 10CSU FresnoCui Lin
