Abstract
Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) clouds can be used to extend site resources, such as a compute cluster or storage repository, to create elastic computing environments. However, at this time such extensions must be done manually by an administrator. This project will focus on tools and technologies to create elastic computing environments using IaaS clouds that adjust to changes in demand automatically and transparently.

Scale of Use
In general it will only require periodic access to a handful of nodes. However, on occasion it may require access to hundred's of cores for a relatively short amount of time (a few hours at a time).
