CFP:
Science Portals and gateways have emerged to be important components of 
many large-scale scientific computing and Grid computing projects.They 
are characterized by delivering well-established mechanisms for 
providing familiar interfaces to secure Grid resources, services, 
applications, tools, and collaboration services for communities of 
scientists. In most cases access is enabled through a web browser 
without the need to download or install any specialized software or 
worry about networks and ports. As a result, the science application 
user is isolated from the complex details and infrastructure needed to 
operate an application on the Grid. In addition to Web-based tools we 
see the emergence of Desktop based Grid tools that make the development 
and also the use of Grids easier. This workshop will focus on projects 
and technologies that are adopting these new technologies and services 
as well as develop new once. We seek papers from all aspects of portal, 
gateway, and tool development including architecture design and 
standards studies, toolkits developed in support of Grid portals and 
gateways, as well as Grid middleware.

GCE 2006 topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- Applications of Grid Portals and Gateways (including User
 Portals, Application Portals, Science Gateways, Education
 Portals, User interface/usability studies).
- Design and architecture of Grid portals and gateways including
- Tools and frameworks that make developing Grid Portals an  
 gateways easier
- Portal security models and solutions.
- Middleware solutions in support of portals and Gateways
 including: Web Services; WSRF Services; Grid technologies
 Databases; Workflows; WSRP and other standards; Web
 services in support of Portals and Gateways.
- Interaction with Commodity and Commercial tools such as Perl,
 Python, Matlab, and Mathematica.
- Interaction with Desktop applications.
- Summary papers
