## OptIPuter Key Research Issues

- Actual Large Scale Research Testbeds Are Required
- Applications will NOT adopt/use toy infrastructures
- Research Projects Supporting Interdisciplinary Methods for Enabling Applications with Advanced Research Infrastructures are Important
- Interdisciplinary Techniques for Supporting Such Goals are Not Well Understood by Research Funding Agencies
- Current Infrastructure Research Funding is Insubstantial
- Research Must Be Oriented to Long Term Objectives
