I hesitate to use those because they don't seem to fit the (my?) generic
description of cloud computing.  I'm aware the term is too vague to be
useful; so, I'll throw some words at it.  I'm more interested in a
publicly accessible infrastructure (i.e. anyone can invoke virtual
machines), allowing generic computation (i.e. any program can be
executed on the invoked machines), and with a customizable toolchain
(e.g. choice of OS, choice of compiler, etc.).

This is much closer.  Now I just need to find some published articles in
science journals that relied on BOINC for their results.

Thanks!
