IMP Science Gateway: from the Portal to the Hub of Virtual Experimental

Abstract—The user communities outside of computer science itself (for example, in materials science, physics, chemistry, biol-ogy, nanotechnologies, etc.) would like to access different software components and various distributed computing infrastructures (DCIs) (like grids, clouds, clusters) in a such transparent way, that they do not need to learn their peculiarities. In this context, ”sci-ence gateway ” (SG) ideology means a user-friendly intuitive inter-face between scientists (or scientific communities) and different software components + various DCIs, where researchers can focus on their scientific goals and less on peculiarities of software/DCI. ”IMP Science Gateway Portal
