IWSG-A takes place in conjunction with 
Australia has invested heavily in the development of science gateways, particularly through the NeCTAR Virtual Laboratory program and major domain-specific projects such as AURIN, TERN and IMOS amongst many others. These initiatives have increased both connections and connectivity between Australian researchers, increasing opportunities for collaboration, created efficiencies and new forms of innovation. Many of these gateways have also established novel ways of utilising large-scale Cloud facilities (also offered through the NeCTAR program) To continue the development of this community, this ISWG-A workshop on 19 October offers a venue for exchanging experiences. While there is much that is common in gateway development across domains, often work is done in many different vacuums, where one research domain-specific group does not benefit from developments in another. ProgrammeThe programme including the abstracts can be downloaded at the end of the page.Call for papersSubmissions are invited related to various aspects of science gateways. Suggested topics include:
There are three alternatives for researchers to present their work: talks, lightning talks, and demonstration sessions. All submissions will be double-blind peer reviewed and evaluated on quality and relevance.Talks – Presenters will be given a 20-minute time slot (plus 5 minutes for questions) to provide a summary of their work. Papers of 4 pages in length should be submitted. Selected papers will be invited to submit extended papers that will be considered for a special journal issue of Concurrency and Computation – Practice and Experience. Original, high quality contributions that are not yet published or that are not currently under review by other journals or peer-reviewed conferences are also sought. Lightning talk or demonstration – Abstracts of 300 words can be submitted for the lightning talk or for the demonstration sessions. Authors must indicate which presentation format they are aiming for. Accepted lightning talk submissions will be given a 10-minute time slot (plus 5 minutes for questions) in a lightning talk session. Accepted demonstration submissions will be given a 10-minute time slot (plus 5 minutes for questions) in a demonstration session. Demonstrations will be given live to the workshop audience. Please follow these steps to make a submission to the conference by How to make a submissionPlease follow these steps to make a submission to the conference. 1. Download the submission template (word document) for the type of submission you are making: 2. Complete the description of your topic using the template. Submissions for eResearch Australasia are extended abstracts rather than full papers. Your submission should be no longer than two pages, plus a third page for author bios, and be saved in a PDF format. 3. Prepare a brief summary of no more than 300 words. You will paste this into the submission form in the next step. If your submission is accepted this will become the short description of your session that appears on the conference website. 4. Go to https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eres2015 and complete the submission form. You will be asked during the submission process to select an appropriate submission group to which your abstract is related to; please select only one group to ensure your abstract is placed in the correct programme stream. If you have not used EasyChair before you will need to create a login account before entering your submission. If you have forgotten your username or password, help is available from the login screen. 5. At the end of the submission form you will be prompted to upload a paper in a PDF format. This is the two-page abstract you have prepared using the submission template. 6. You can return to EasyChair and make updates to your submission. It is a requirement that at least one author of each accepted paper attend the workshop. Program Committee
