“…According to [15,16], a Science Gateway is a "community-development set of tools, applications, and data that is integrated via a portal or a suite of applications, usually in a graphical user interface, that is further customized to meet the needs of a specific community". Science Gateways are playing an important role in scientific research performed using e-Infrastructures and their relevance will further increase with the development of more sophisticated user interfaces and easier access mechanisms.…”

The motivation of this work fits with the general vision to enable e-health for European citizens, irrespective of their social and financial status and their place of residence. Services to be provided include access to a high-quality early diagnostic and prognostic service for the Alzheimer Disease and other forms of dementia, based both on the European Research and Education Networks and the European Grid Infrastructure.

Grid infrastructures allow users to access and use computational and storage facilities distributed in different locations around the world. Science Gateways (SG) are recently emerging as high-level web environments that ease Grid access and use. However, although SGs simplify job management, providing a web interface by which jobs can be submitted with a few "clicks", their capabilities to do an effective and intuitive data management are still at an early stage. Actually, Grid storage elements use dedicated protocols not supported by common applications such as web browsers. This makes a smooth integration of data management services in a Science Gateway quite difficult. In this work we show the Data Engine, a new SG component providing users with the ability to move data to storage elements and share them in an easy and clever way. The component operates between the Grid storage and the user, providing a file-system-like experience.

“…In the recent past, interesting developments have been independently carried out by the Grid community with the Science Gateways [5] [6] and by the National Research and Education Networks with the Identity Federations [7] to ease, from one side, the access and use of Grid infrastructures and, from the other side, to increase the number of users authorised to access network-based services.…”

Notwithstanding the existence of a large and highly-performant computing infrastructure, and the effort made to improve the quality of these e-Infrastructures, the user base has remained quite small relative to the potential number of users. On the other hand Social Networks (SNs) have become extremely popular, thanks in large part to their intuitive and easy-to-use interfaces. Recognising the potential to improve the overall usability of e-Infrastructures, recently, a significant effort has been made to develop e-Collaboration environments allowing scientists to access remote computing facilities, referred as "Science Gateways" (SG).In this paper we present the work done to connect SGs to an existing SN. The main aim of this integration is to allow users to access the tools provided by the SG directly from the SN and to attract a larger audience to these new technologies. The interoperability has been achieved at several levels, from the authentication/authorisation up to the user interface (UI), making the SG accessible from SN user pages.
