Computer Science is gradually evolving from a mere “supporting tool” for research in other fields and turning into an intrinsic part of the very methods of the sciences with which it interacts. The synergy between Computer Science and other fields of knowledge created a novel way of doing science – called eScience – which unifies theory, experiments, and simulations, enabling researchers to deal with huge amounts of information. The use of cloud computing has the potential to allow any researcher to conduct works previously restricted to those with access to supercomputers. This article presents a brief history of the evolution of scientific paradigms (from empiricism to the current landscape of eScience) and discusses the potential of cloud computing as a tool capable of catalyzing transformative research.Downloads
