HUBzero© Goes OneSciencePlace: The Next Community-Driven Steps for Providing Software-as-a-Service

HUBzero© is a well-used science gateway framework actively developed for over a decade. The needs of its community are one of the primary driving forces guiding the team behind HUBzero©. For example, requirements in the community led to the integration of JupyterHub, RStudio and the provision of Docker containers for the tool submission environment. Besides its community driven requirements, the team behind HUBzero© continuously analyzes the existing science gateway landscape, the usage of instances of HUBzero© as well as trends in the usage of computational platforms in general to keep HUBzero© robust, scalable, and sustainable. HUBzero© has begun development of a science gateway platform called Open Science Place (OSP). OSP is a SaaS-based (Softwareas-a-Service) solution to give researchers a way to execute, share, and archive their research in a publically accessible venue. The poster goes into detail for the different aspects of sustainability addressed in OSP such as a community-hosting concept, flexible financing models, interoperability and scalability of tools.
