Science gateways serve as connection points, assembling the various components of advanced cyber infrastructure - data collections, instruments, supercomputers, clouds, and analytical tools - behind streamlined, user-friendly interfaces. They are typically a community-developed web portal or a suite of desktop applications. Gateways can provide scalable access to many things: a highly-tuned parallel application running on a supercomputer; a remote instrument like a telescope or electron microscope; a curated data collection; tools to create workflows and visualizations linking these different resources; and collaborative venues to discuss results, share curricula and presentations and more. Gateways enable not only researchers with a common scientific goal, but also students and members of the broader community by providing access to top-tier resources. Gateways provide both a user-centric and a community-centric view (with social networking) of the cyber infrastructure.
