Abstract
SlideRule is an open source server-side framework for on-demand processing of science data in the cloud.The SlideRule project offers a new paradigm for NASA archival data management -rapid delivery of customizable on-demand data products, rather than hosting large volumes of standard derivative products, which will inevitably be insufficient for some science applications.
