This tutorial will cover the basics of building Web-based Science Gateways with OGCE software. The workshop will be divided into two main sections: a) building Web 2.0 science gateways, and b) running real applications and workflows on the TeraGrid.

Part 1 will examine new approaches for building science portals based on lessons learned from the Web 2.0 community. These include the use of JavaScript libraries for science application mash-up building, developing Open Social compatible Google gadgets and containers, using JSON-RPC for communicating with remote services, and using OAuth and OpenID for security. Participants will learn how to download, install, and modify the OGCE Gadget Container and JavaScript-based OGCE Grid Gadgets. Part 1 will also review how to integrate third party social networking tools to add collaborative capabilities to your gateway.

In Part 2, participants will go through the steps required to wrap command line executables and applications as secure TeraGrid services. Participants will be shown how these applications can be visually controlled and composed through workflow composing and monitoring tools. Attendees are encouraged to participate in hands-on demonstrations.
