9th International Workshop on Science Gateways

The IWSG2017 proceedings includes the papers presented at the IWSG2017
Workshop between 19-21 June 2017 in Poznań, Poland.


The IWSG2017 Workshop was organised by Poznań Supercomputing and
Networking Center, Poland in close collaboration with Workshop Chairs, Tamas
Kiss from University of Westminster, United Kingdom, Sandra Gesing from
University of Notre Dame, USA.


Workshop Chairs and Program Committee are grateful to Keynote Speakers,
Peter Coveney, Krzysztof Kurowski and Rajiv Ramnath for their inspiring and
impressive lectures. The keynote lectures have been focused on various
challenges in the area of science gateways and their wider adoption in e-Science.
Both past experiences and state-of-the-art technologies have been presented and
discussed with the audience. Additionally, some possible and future research
collaboration opportunities at the international level have been addressed for
science gateways development, sustainability and education.


Today, science gateways offer the potential to open the utilisation by providing a
customised and easy to use user interface to access large computational and data
resources. The complexity of the underlying infrastructure can be completely
hidden from the end-users by a suitably tailored interface. As interest in science
gateways has accelerated in the past few years, an increasing number of new
user communities can utilise grid or cloud computing resources in a convenient
manner. Therefore, the main aim of the IWSG2017 Workshop was to bring
together researchers and scientists from different scientific domains, along with
science gateways developers, to discuss problems and solutions in the area, to
identify new issues, to shape future directions for research, foster the exchange
of ideas, standards and common requirements.
The IWSG2017 proceedings is a collection of papers presenting new approaches,
best practices as well as innovative methods for science gateways. Workshop
Chairs would like to thank the PC members, presenters, authors and local
organizers. Their contributions made the IWSG2017 Workshop such a success.
They also express their gratitude to the sponsors of the workshop: the US
National Science Foundation (NSF), the Center for Research Computing of the
University of Notre Dame and the IEEE Technical Area on Science Gateways.
