Abstract: The UNICORE Portal is a new offering in the UNICORE client side tools portfolio. In this paper we are evaluating the current architecture of the Portal and its connection to the corresponding UNICORE middleware components from the perspective of domain-specific interfaces integration. The paper discusses the need for a low-level Portal API, which should serve as a convenient foundation of Portal extensions. The motivation of the developments is built on top of requirements coming from three use cases, which are introduced in the paper. The proposed API is compared to the GridBeans API, used for the standalone graphical clients. Additionally an analysis of the possible improvements in the Portal core is given, together with the description of the benefits of refactoring.
