The Collaborative Environments Group at LSU CCT is working to build tools and systems that will enable scientists to easily
coordinate their resources and activities with their collaborators and/or other members of the research community. In the forefront
of the projects we are developing is the work we are doing towards the development of user "Portals."
Portals have increasingly become the preferred means of providing advanced content management systems. In addition to providing
a single point of entry for a user to control the resources at their disposal, it provides an environment that fosters collaboration among
dispersed organizations and people. The latest and greatest development pertaining to Portals is the advent of "Portlets."
Portlets are small reusable components that are hosted within a portlet container. Recently, members from industry and research got
together to develop a standard way of describing portlets and how they interact (JSR 168). By building a system comprised of portlets,
developers are able to to easily use components developed by other groups and share their own work.
The Portals component to LSU CCT's Collaborative Environments Group is working to develop application specific portals and portlets.
To this end, we are leveraging the work done by the portals group of the GridLab project, who have developed an open source and
free portlet framework called GridSphere. The developers of GridSphere not only provide a portlet based portal hosting environment,
but also many of the portlet service components that are needed to perform operations on the Grid.
