Virtual Research in the UK : Advanced Portal Services

As part of e-Science work being undertaken on several projects at the University of Portsmouth and Daresbury Laboratory, we are investigating and developing advanced Grid portals using a range of emerging portlet-based technologies and services. The OGSA Testbed project, led by the University of Portsmouth, has enabled us to evaluate the use technologies such as GT3, OGSA-DAI, and eventually WSRF in building a variety of portlets to expose remote services to users with a variety of application needs.
