Web-based Science Gateways for Structural Bioinformatics

Structural bioinformatics is concerned with computational methods to  
gain new insight into molecular structures, their prediction, and the  
analysis of their functions. Nowadays, these computational methods are  
invaluable tools in numerous applications like materials science,  
structural biology, and drug design. DCIs (Distributed Computing  
Infrastructures) allow gathering information about increasingly  
complex chemical structures via available sophisticated tools and  
methods.

Web-based science gateways support users to access tools for a  
specific application domain via a web browser. The overall goal for  
creating science gateways is to increase the usability of tools and to  
hide the complexity of the underlying infrastructure. In the project  
MoSGrid (Molecular Simulation Grid) a complete solution for the  
computational chemistry community has been developed which aids end  
users and developers to use tools and workflows in DCIs.

The talk goes into detail for the role-based user management concerted  
for the molecular simulation community, the credential management  
facilitating SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language), a tool for job  
and workflow management allowing workflow interoperability, and an  
extended framework for the migration of workflows supporting the re- 
usability of workflows for different DCIs.
