We invite the submission of papers related to various aspects of Science Gateways. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:

* Science gateway enabling technologies and development frameworks
* Ready to use science gateways in different areas and disciplines
* Management of high-throughput data via science gateways
* Portal technology and portal construction methods
* Usage models and gateway tools in different disciplines
* Security aspects of science gateways
* Usability studies of science gateways

We in particular encourage the submissions of application scientists and community members, reporting about their experiences with science gateways. There are three alternatives for researchers to present their work: talks, lightning talks, and demonstration sessions. Submission of a full paper may result in a talk, submission of an abstract may result in a lightning talk or a demonstration. All contributions will be subject of a double blind peer review which will serve as basis for the decision of acceptance.
