This paper describes the design and prototype implementation of the
XCAT Grid Science Portal. The portal lets grid application programmers
script complex distributed computations and package these applications
with simple interfaces for others to use. Each application is packaged
as a notebook which consists of webpages and editable parameterized
scripts. The portal is a workstation-based specialized personal web
server, capable of executing the application scripts and launching
remote grid applications for the user. The portal server can receive
event streams published by the application and grid resource information
published by Network Weather Service(NWS) or Autopilot sensors. Notebooks
can be published and stored in web based archives for others to retrieve
and modify. The XCAT Grid Science Portal has been tested with various
applications, including the distributed simulation of chemical processes
in semiconductor manufacturing and collaboratory support for X-ray
crystallographers.
