GridSphere: a portal framework for building collaborations

Grid enabled portals are becoming increasingly popular as a platform for providing access to Grid services and resources. Unfortunately, much of the work done in portal development has led to vertically layered solutions that work for a particular project but are difficult to extend or reuse for other projects. The GridSphere portal framework seeks to address these limitations by providing a framework that will offer external developers a model for easily adding new functionality and hence increasing community collaboration. The GridLab portal will serve as an initial prototype to showcase the GridSphere framework and provide access to services being developed within the GridLab project.
