Scientific portals and gateways are important components of many large-
scale Grid and Cloud computing projects. They are characterized by Web-
based user interfaces and services that securely access Grid and Cloud
resources, data, applications, and collaboration services for
communities of scientists. As a result, the scientific gateway provides
a user- and (with social networking) a community-centric view of
cyberinfrastructure.
Web technologies evolve rapidly, and trends such as Cloud Computing are
changing the way many scientific users expect to interact with
resources. Academic clouds are being created using open source cloud
technologies. Important Web standards such as Open Social and OAuth are
changing the way Web portals are build, shared, and secured. It is the
goal of the GCE workshop series to provide venue for researchers to
present pioneering, peer-reviewed work on these and other topics to the
international science gateway community.
Topics of interest include the following:
* Integration of Web 2.0 technologies with science gateways;
* Gateways to cloud computing services;
* Applications of virtual world technologies to science and
education gateways;
* Social networks for scientific communities;
* Grid portals and gateways deployments, including User Portals,
Application Portals, Science Gateways, Education Portals, User
interface/usability studies;
* Design and architecture of Grid portals, portal containers, and
gateways;
* Tools and frameworks that make developing Grid Portals and
gateways easier;
* Portal security models and solutions;
* Middleware solutions in support of scientific portals and Gateways
including Web Services, workflow and mashup composers and engines,
and similar capabilities;
* Non-browser gateways: desktops and mobile computing gateways; and
* Summary and survey papers.
