As another example, I know some sites using clouds to render images, each inventing their own systems. It would seem to make sense to build out a cloud specific to this problem domain. As I mentioned in the post, different programming languages are developed to serve different needs and as clouds mature I'd expect to see the sector follow suit. @Mark: The Carmen talk mentioned science-specific but it really comes down to making abstractions to fit different problem spaces and lowering the cost of entry.

I think that would be an great followup topic for next year's conference. I did not however get much inspiration in this direction from this years presentations. Was there something in particular disseminated regarding such? Alas, I did not attend the last two presentations of the day. Excellent write up.
