Gateways are Web-based environments that provide user interfaces and supporting services that securely access Grid and Cloud resources, data, applications, and collaboration environments for communities of scientists. As a result, scientific portals and gateways provide both a user-centric and a community-centric view (with social networking) of the cyber infrastructure. Web technologies evolve rapidly, and trends such as Cloud Computing are changing the way many scientific users expect to interact with cyberinfrastructure. Academic clouds are being created using open source cloud technologies. Important Web standards such as Open Social, OpenID, and OAuth are changing the way Web portals are built, shared, and secured. It is the goal of the GCE workshop series to provide a venue for researchers to present pioneering, peer-reviewed work on these and related topics to the international science gateway community.
