The second part of the topic contains concrete use cases that describe how the
WS-PGRADE/gUSE gateway framework was customized by SCI-BUS project
partners and subcontractors to develop a domain-speci
c science gateway instance.
These chapters are completely independent from each other but they use different
features of the WS-PGRADE/gUSE framework; hence they are built on information
described in various chapters in the
rst part of the topic. These chapters are very
useful for those readers who also want
to develop a domain-speci
c science
gateway instances because here they can
find many good ideas on how to adapt
WS-PGRADE/gUSE gateway for their own purposes.
Some further gateway instance examples that were developed in other EU FP7
projects like agINFRA, DRIHM, and VERCE are shown in Chap. 17 in the third
part of the topic. Chapter 18 even shows how different user communities can come
together and create a science gateway alliance based on the same gateway tech-
nology. Notice that there are many more science gateway instances developed
based on the WS-PGRADE/gUSE gateway framework, but due to the restricted
size of the topic those are not described here. However, the interested reader can
find those further use cases via the SCI-BUS web page. Part 3 also describes some
further application areas of the SCI-BUS gateway technology. These include
educational and commercial uses. Those readers who are interested in the use of
SCI-BUS technology in university courses are recommended to read Chap. 16 . The
commercial use of SCI-BUS technology is also possible and was exploited by
several companies in the SCI-BUS project; there are other companies that are
currently working on the commercial applications inside the EU FP7 CloudSME
project. These commercial applications of the SCI-BUS technology are described in
Chap. 19 .
The topic ends with a short Conclusions and outlook in which the future of the
SCI-BUS technology is covered.
1.8 Conclusions
The goal of the current topic is to describe the WS-PGRADE/gUSE SG framework,
its customization technology and to show use cases for several user communities
where this technology was successfully applied to create application-speci
cSG
instances. Within the SCI-BUS project 11 partner user communities established
their own SG instances as production services, another 6 communities as sub-
contractors have developed their gateways and 7 associated partners also use the
