GCE05: Call for Participation

Grid computing portals have emerged to be important components of many large-scale Grid computing projects. Portals provide well-established mechanisms for providing familiar interfaces to secure grid resources, services, applications, tools, and collaboration services for communities of scientists. Furthermore, portals deliver complex grid solutions to users wherever they have access to a web browser running on the Internet without the need to download or install any specialized software or worry about networks and ports, etc. As a result, the science application user is isolated from the complex details and infrastructure needed to operate an application on the grid.

The portal development community is currently undergoing a revolution as component-based architectures and services become standardized and widely adopted. Grid middleware is also changing in response to the services oriented architecture (SOA) approach to hosting services. The move towards an SOA grid maps very well to the architecture already employed by portals, further increasing their value within the grid community.

This workshop will focus on portal projects that are adopting these new technologies and services. We seek papers from all aspects of portal development including portal architecture design and standards studies, toolkits developed in support of portals, as well as high-level application portals that utilize these technologies.

GCE 2005 topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Project portals including: User Portals,Application Portals,Science Gateway Portals,Education Portals
• Portal architecture and design, including: Portlets and portal frameworks (uPortal, Sakai, CHEF, GridSphere, WebSphere, etc); JSP; JSF; Servlets; REST; Cocoon.
• Portal security models and solutions.
• Portal languages including Java, Python, Perl, PHP, etc
• User interface/usability studies.
• Middleware solutions in support of portals including: Web Services; WSRF Services; Grid technologies; Databases; Workflows; WSRP and other standards; Web services in support of Portals.

Paper Submission and Publication

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract paper on original and unpublished work (also not submitted elsewhere for review) reporting significant projects and results in any aspect of grid portals and related technologies.

• Note: extended abstract papers should not exceed 6 single-spaced pages of text using 10 point size type on 8.5 x 11 inch paper (see author instructions below).

Authors should submit a PDF or PostScript (level 2) file that will print on a PostScript printer. Electronic submission will be done through the workshop website. Emailed copies will be accepted only if electronic submission is not possible. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the authors to register and present the paper.

Proceedings

All papers selected for this workshop will be peer-reviewed and will be published in a special issue of Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience (http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/jhome/77004395).
