Abstract
HUBzero is growing leaps and bounds these days, powering everything from simple collaborative websites to compute intensive portals such as nanoHUB. Does this mean it's a great fit for any website? When should HUBzero be used, and when other tools are a better fit? In this talk I will present Notre Dame's Center for Research Computing experiences with building science gateways, where both, HUBzero and non-HUBzero solutions were used.
Bio
Jarek Nabrzyski is director of the University of Notre Dame's Center for Research Computing (CRC). Before coming to Notre Dame Nabrzyski worked at LSU's Center for Computation and Technology, and before that, at Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center (PSNC). It was at PSNC where he got first interested in building science gateways and middleware tools. During his 13 years at PSNC Nabrzyski has built a team that developed and supported the GridSphere portlet framework, and later the VineToolkit framework. Both were used by many grid computing collaborations worldwide.
Within his last three years at Notre Dame Nabrzyski was involved in supporting many research projects. CRC's Interactive Collaborative Environments team developed many science portals / gateways, including some that used the HUBZero framework.
Nabrzyski has received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from the Poznan University of Technology in Poland.
