This special issue is based on presentations at the XSEDE13 conference held in San Diego, July 2013. The conference is an annual gathering of the extended community of those interested in advancing research cyberinfrastructure (CI) and digital resources. This includes researchers using XSEDE and like resources, XSEDE staff members, Campus Champions, and especially students. Seven hundred twenty people attended the conference, from 50 states, 1 territory, and 14 countries. As a summertime conference with terrific student programs from high school to post-graduate levels, we were fortunate to attract 200 students. From the Call for Participation, the purpose of the conference is to ‘showcases the discoveries, innovations, challenges and achievements of those who utilize and support XSEDE resources and services, as well as other digital resources and services throughout the world’. The conference included tutorials, birds-of-a-feather sessions, a poster session, visualization showcase, and job fair. Each conference has a unique theme. In 2013, the focus was the impact of science gateways and the relevance of computation and high-end analysis in the biosciences. The core technical program consisted of four tracks—science and engineering; technology; software and software environments; and training, education, and outreach. Selected papers from the core technical program were invited to expand content and submit to this special issue.
