Project Bloom: Empowering the security research community through data products and computing

Abstract

In order to execute Bloom, we need financial resources. The biggest resource required is personnel time to provision and maintain Bloom, offer data products, and collect feedback to improve the service. Further, even though Indiana University has committed much of the computing and storage infrastructure needed to realize it, access to those resources will not be exclusive for Bloom users. Hence, some addition to those resources is necessary to ensure that Bloom users can have dedicated sources and hence good quality of service.
