Description

Research in any Science needs nowadays strong computing services to extract results and make discoveries.
What we define as computing services might rank from the underlying structure, namely networks, computers, storage, to the applications and the software but as well new techniques such as Artificial Intelligence to extract the expected results.
In order to estimate the overall needs in this field, we have launched a survey including all the people that we could reach, participants in ASFAP as well as the attendants to the 2021 ACP conference that was held in mars 2022.
In this paper we summarize the information that was gathered in the different questions of the survey and extract some general observations. Possible guidelines to improve the situation are drawn in the conclusion.
