GCe 2014 - 9th Gateway Computing Environments Workshop

A Science Gateway is a community-developed set of tools, applications, and data collections that are integrated through a web portal or a suite of applications. Gateways can provide scalable access to many things: a highly-tuned parallel application running on a supercomputer; a remote instrument like a telescope or electron microscope; a curated data collection; tools to create workflows and visualizations linking these different resources; and collaborative venues to discuss results, share curricula and presentations and more. Gateways enable not only researchers with a common scientific goal but also students and members of the broader community by providing access to top-tier resources. sighpc_logo_72dpi
There is much that is common in gateway development regardless of the domain area. But gateway developers typically have few venues for exchanging experiences. Gateways are often developed in a hobbyist environment. This workshop series aims to help change that.
