Science Gateways for Distributed Computing Infrastructures

Abstract

This chapter gives a short introduction to the basic architecture and functionalities of science gateways, as well as their development methods. It then briefly describes the EU FP7 SCI-BUS project that is developing a core science gateway framework called as WS-PGRADE/gUSE. A large number of various user communities have developed application-oriented science gateways by adapting and customizing the WS-PGRADE/gUSE gateway framework. The chapter also explains the vision of SCI-BUS on a collaboration-based SG instance development methodology. Finally, it gives a guide on how to read the rest of the book.
