Science Gateways as a Way to Support e-Science and Virtual Organizations via the TeraGrid

This tutorial will introduce Science Gateways as a way to expand the usefulness of advanced cyber infrastructure in support of e-Science and Virtual Organizations, using Science Gateways for the U.S. TeraGrid as examples. This tutorial will include hands-on exercises and guided examples. This tutorial will:

* Provide examples of several Science Gateways and Web Portals useful in support of e-Science, created by many participants and users of the U.S. TeraGrid
* Present information about how to create Science Gateways using the Open Grid Computing Environment
* Provide an overview of the U.S. TeraGrid and its resources that provide potential backends for Science Gateways
* For U.S. participants, or international participants looking for U.S. collaborators, we will briefly present information on how to apply for and receive allocations of TeraGrid resources for hosting Science Gateways
