The Event Horizon Telescope Science Gateway project is a collaborative effort to develop an accessible web-based portal for analyzing black hole images. Bringing together astrophysics researchers and students from the University of Arizona with technology designers, cyberinfrastructure experts, and user experience specialists from the Cyberinfrastructure Integration Research Center at the Indiana University’s Pervasive Technology Institute, the project aims to create an intuitive gateway that harnesses the computational power provided by the Partnership to Advance Throughput Computing and the Open Science Grid. The gateway is built on the Apache Airavata Science Gateway framework. The user-centric design of the portal allows both experienced and novice scientists to access essential analysis tools and benefit from millions of freely available computing cycles. Beyond providing a valuable compute environment and access to untapped resources for the astrophysics community, the project serves as a case study for using science gateways to facilitate access to high-throughput computing resources, demonstrating the effectiveness of integrating human-computer interaction design with science gateway technologies to simplify access to advanced computational resources.Science gateways are effective tools for expanding access to scientific cyberinfrastructure by creating user environments customized for specific scientific communities. An emerging area of research in this field involves integrating science gateway technologies with human-computer interaction and user experience design methodologies. The Event Horizon Telescope community's utilization of the Open Science Grid exemplifies this approach. This project focuses on combining human-centered design principles with science gateway technologies to address key challenges in resource provisioning, meta-scheduling, data management, and complex computing workflows in high-throughput settings. The objective is to enhance the Event Horizon Telescope community's capacity to analyze extensive astronomical datasets by providing a more user-friendly and efficient gateway. This innovative approach introduces a new perspective to astrophysics and high-throughput computing, with the potential to drive transformative advancements in both fields.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

活动Horizo​​n Telescope Science Gateway Project是一项合作的努力，旨在开发一个基于Web的门户，用于分析黑洞图像。将来自亚利桑那大学的天体物理学研究人员和学生与技术设计师，网络基础设施专家以及来自印第安纳大学Pervasive Technology Institute的网络基础设施整合研究中心的技术设计师以及用户体验专家汇集在一起​​，该项目旨在创造一个直觉的网关，以创造一个构成党能力的计算能力，以推动党的计算能够通过开放的计算和开放的科学范围。网关建立在Apache Airavata科学网关框架上。门户网站的以用户为中心的设计允许经验和新颖的科学家访问基本的分析工具，并从数百万免费的可用计算周期中获得好处。除了为天体物理学社区提供有价值的计算环境和访问未开发的资源外，该项目还可以作为使用科学网关的案例研究，以促进进入高通量计算资源的访问，证明了将人类交互式互动设计与科学网关技术整合到远来访问的科学访问的科学工具的有效性范围，以便于扩展的工具。社区。该领域的研究领域涉及将科学网关技术与人类计算机互动和用户体验设计方法集成。活动地平线望远镜社区对开放科学网格的利用方式体现了这种方法。该项目着重于将以人为本的设计原理与科学网关技术相结合，以应对资源提供，元安排，数据管理和复杂计算工作流程中的关键挑战。目的是通过提供更具用户友好和高效的网关来增强事件地平线望远镜社区分析广泛的天文数据集的能力。这种创新的方法介绍了天体物理学和高通量计算的新观点，有可能在这两个领域中推动变革性进步。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响标准通过评估来获得支持。
