P‐GRADE portal is one of the most widely used general‐purpose grid portal in Europe. The paper summarizes the most advanced features of P‐GRADE, such as parameter sweep workflow execution, multi‐grid workflow execution and integration with the DSpace workflow repository. It also shows the NGS P‐GRADE portal that extends P‐GRADE with the GEMLCA legacy code execution support in Grid systems, as well as with coarse‐grain workflow interoperability services. Next, the paper introduces the second generation P‐GRADE portal called WS‐PGRADE that merges the advanced features of the first generation P‐GRADE portals and extends them with new workflow and architecture concepts. Finally, the application‐specific science gateway of the CancerGrid project is briefly described to demonstrate that application‐specific portals can easily be developed on top of the general‐purpose WS‐PGRADE portal.
