Science Gateway
Posted on: 03 Mar, 2015
Science Gateway (SG/SGW) is a "community-development set of tools, applications, and data that is integrated via a portal or a suite of applications, usually in a graphical user interface, that is further customized to meet the needs of a specific community".
ASREN is developing the Arab SG for the Arab research communities to allow seamless access to resources, applications and facilities distributed worldwide through a secured authentication and authorization process. The present Science Gateway has been built in the context of the EU CHAIN and CHAIN-REDS projects to demonstrate how the Science Gateway paradigm and standard adoption can make e-Infrastructures worldwide, based on different middleware and architectures (Grid, HPC, Cloud or simply local clusters), interoperable amongst each other, at user application level.
