OGCE

With funding from the National Science Foundation Middleware Initiative the OGCE project was established in Fall 2003 to foster collaborations and sharable components with portal developers worldwide. Tasks include the establishment of a Grid Portal Collaboratory, a repository of portlet and portal service components, an online forum for developers of Grid Portals, and the building of reusable portal components that can be integrated in a common portal container system.

OGCE leverages ongoing portals research and development from Argonne National Laboratory, Indiana University, the University of Michigan, the National Center for Supercomputing Applications, and the Texas Advanced Computing Center. Collectively, these institutions form the charter members of the Open Grid Computing Environments (OGCE) consortium.

OGCE Portal

OGCE provides a portal based on Jetspeed that provides portlets for many of the standard grid operations such as job submission and information management.
