Description

This session will feature presentations about the science gateway frameworks that exist and are offered by the EGI community for scientific communities. Science gateway frameworks simplify the setup of community-specific Virtual Research Environments that integrate tools, applications, data collections for scientific users, and provide simple interfaces to interact with resources and services of the EGI. Providers of science gateway frameworks will be invited using the up to date entries of the EGI Applications Database as a basis.

Besides the presentations about the latest capabilities of the frameworks, a generic presentation will highlight the support that exists in EGI for the science gateway community.

186. Reproducible e-science with GridSpace2 platform

Eryk Ciepiela (CYFRONET)

17/09/2013, 14:00

The subject of this talk focuses on the aspect of reproducibility in e-scientific computational experiments. Credibility, verifiability and transparency brought by reproducibility are of the essence in sound scientific research yet hard to achieve across administrative domains and variety of information technologies in ever changing e-scientist's work environment. To remedy these problems the...

184. Easy Development and Integration of Science Gateways with Vine Toolkit in production.

Mr Mariusz Mamoński (Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center)

17/09/2013, 14:20

The advanced web-based graphic and multimedia oriented user interfaces (GUIs) designed for scientists and engineers could change the way users collaborate, share computing experiments and data, and work together to solve day-to-day problems. Moreover, future science and engineering gateways will influence the way users will not only access their data, but also control and monitor their...

185. The use of the SCMS-EMI as scientific gateway in BCC of NGI_UA

Sergiy Svistunov (Bogolyubov Institute for Theoretical Physics NAS Urkaine)

17/09/2013, 14:40

SCMS-EMI system ( http://appdb.egi.eu/#p=L2FwcHMvZGV0YWlscz9pZD03MjI= ) is an integral part of the open cluster management system SCMS-PRO (http://scms.pro/, http://scms.pro/files/print/brochure.pdf ) and has been established at the end of last year in the Bogolyubov Institute for Theoretical Physics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (BITP), who is also the BCC (Basic...

188. Exposing WS-PGRADE/gUSE for large user communities

Peter Kacsuk (MTA SZTAKI)

17/09/2013, 15:00

In our talk we would like to introduce the new developments of WS-PGRADE/gUSE, that enable exploitation of the technology by larger user communities: the robot certificate extension, the performance improvements and the possibility to use the Data Bridge for storage management through the Data Browser portlet. The robot certificate extension enables the usage of workflows containing...

187. InSilicoLab: A framework for domain-specific science gateways

Joanna Kocot (CYFRONET)

17/09/2013, 16:00

The family of InSilicoLab science gateways emerged as an answer to a need for tools that would be able to expose the power of distributed computing infrastructures to scientists in a way that resembles their usual work. They should be able to use the gateway as a workspace that organises their data and allows for complex computations in a way specific to their domain of science. The...

189. Standard-based Interoperability amongst HPC, Grid and Cloud Resources Distributed Worldwide with Catania Science Gateways

Roberto Barbera (University of Catania and INFN)

17/09/2013, 16:20

The availability of powerful COTS computers and the decrease of costs of LAN components triggered in the first half of 90’s the emergence of cluster computing for High Throughput Computing (HTC) applications. “Farms” of computers with many-core processors, interconnected by very low latency networks, have become the norm also in the domain of High Performance Computing (HPC) and in the last...

200. Apache Airavata: Open Community Science Gateway Framework

Shahbaz memon (JUELICH)

17/09/2013, 16:40

In this talk, we will present Apache Airavata science gateway framework suite, which is used to manage the complex execution and workflow patterns of scientific applications on distributed computing resources. Apache Airavata is used to develop/enhance science gateways and scientific workflows for astronomy, astrophysics, bioinformatics, computational chemistry, geosciences, and nuclear...

254. EGI's support services for the Science Gateways community

Nuno Ferreira (EGI.EU)

17/09/2013, 17:00

Science gateways (SGs) are an emerging interface for communities to engage more actively with the European Grid Infrastructure. The complexity of accessing distributed resources is hidden from researchers, and therefore several communities are building customized gateways for their members. The presentation will provide an overview of the support provided by EGI to the SG community, both...
