11.6 Outlook
The MoSGrid science gateway forms an extensive virtual research environment for
the molecular simulation community. It features standardized security mechanisms,
along with advanced job, workflow, and data management, and it supports the
community with metadata management capabilities. Furthermore, developers are
aided via the PortletAPI to create domain-speci
c portlets. Even though the
extensions have been designed to serve the molecular simulation community, they
are in general applicable for diverse communities. The science gateway and its
workflows are further developed by the EU projects SCI-BUS, ER-flow and in the
near future by the XSEDE MoSGrid science gateway (XSEDE 2014). The latter is
currently in development and applies the XSEDE infrastructure to serve the US
molecular simulation community. We intend to enhance the distributed data man-
agement via the integration of dCache (Fuhrmann 2006) and iRODS (Rajasekar
2010). Furthermore, MoSGrid has been selected for the joint support for interop-
erable services between PRACE (2014) and XSEDE resources, which fosters the
exchange of workflows between the EU and US communities and initiates further
links on the international level.
