> WORKSHOP OVERVIEW:
>
> 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, etc.).
> * 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 and unpublished work (also not submitted elsewhere for review)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. 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). For
