对下一代科学网关的需求日益增长，以使用最新技术增加数据集和云计算资源的可访问性。今天的大多数科学网关都是为特定目的而构建的，具有预先定义的工作流程，用户界面和固定的计算资源。有必要使用中间件使它们现代化，中间件可以提供“插件”支持，以编程方式增加它们的可扩展性和可伸缩性，以满足用户不断增长的需求。在本文中，我们提出了一种新的中间件，可以集成到科学网关使用“自带”插件管理方法。这种方法的特点是微服务架构来解耦应用程序，并允许用户（即，管理员，开发人员，研究人员）来定制和整合现有科学网关中的特定领域组件。我们详细介绍了中间件中的应用程序编程接口，用于创建具有不同基础设施、定制流程、详细监控和灵活可编程性的端到端管道。我们还演示了通过OnTimeRecommend的案例研究，我们的“带来你自己的”方法可以无缝集成的科学网关管理员/开发人员使用Web应用程序。
—There is a growing need for next-generation science gateways to increase the accessibility of data sets and cloud computing resources using latest technologies. Most science gateways today are built for specific purposes with pre-defined workflows, user interfaces, and fixed computing resources. There is a need to modernize them with middleware that can provide ‘plug in’ support to programmatically increase their extensibility and scalability to meet users’ growing needs. In this paper, we propose a novel middleware that can be integrated into science gate-ways using a “bring-your-own” plug-in management approach. This approach features microservice architectures to decouple applications, and allows users (i.e., administrators, developers, researchers) to customize and incorporate domain-specific components in an existing science gateway. We detail the application programming interfaces in our middleware for creation of end-to-end pipelines with diverse infrastructure, customized processes, detailed monitoring and flexible programmability for a scientific domain. We also demonstrate via a OnTimeRecommend case study on how our “bring-your-own” approach can be seamlessly integrated by a science gateway administrator/developer using a web application.
