Life Sciences
• Biology, chemistry, medicine, etc.• Focus on topics diverse to computer science• Scientists with different computational background • Usage of computational tools and applications
Sandra Gesing - International Workshop on Portals for Life Sciences 4
Portals• Framework for integrating information
and applications • Single point of entry• Provide each user with a repository of
personal information • Possibility to customize views and tools• No installation of software on the end-
user side
Sandra Gesing - International Workshop on Portals for Life Sciences 5
PortalsAdvantages• No software roll outs or software updates• Easy access from everywhere• No firewall issues• Runs on all platforms
Disadvantages• Development is tricky when compared to
Java applications• Technology rather immature• Depends on the portal server to be
available• No access to local data
