It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2011 ACM Workshop on Gateway Computing Environments -- GCE'11. This year's workshop, the sixth in the annual series, continues to serve as a premier forum for the latest research and developments in building science gateways and related cyberinfrastructure.
The call for papers attracted 16 submissions, of which 9 were accepted. The program committee chose Nancy Wilkins-Diehr's retrospective paper on the TeraGrid Science Gateway program as the keynote presentation. Other submissions cover gateway development aspects such as distributed security based on modern Web protocols, open community software development for gateways, modern gateway component development techniques, new underlying technologies to support real time processing, computing cloud-based gateway infrastructure, and applicationn gateways for bioinformatics and astrophysics.
