Creating new methods to access computational tools through cloud platforms is one way of exploring how computational methods may be adopted by experimental researchers. As computational methods continue to develop, so too will their place in the discovery of new materials. Future research may lead to more cloud platforms, new frameworks to ease the creation of such platforms, or focus on entirely novel collaborative techniques. While advancing the accuracy of the predictions made by ML models remains a dominant research area in this field, the concurrent development of tools which interface with these models is a crucial piece of supporting work to ensure wide and effective adoption.
