Gateway workshops have been held on multiple continents in 2015, with the International Workshop on Science Gateways held in Budapest in June 2015 and the recent Australasian installation in October. This special issue represents contributions from the tenth Gateway Computing Environments workshop, GCE15, held in Boulder, CO September 30–October 1, 2015. The workshop was held in conjunction with the 3rd Workshop on Sustainable Software for Science: Practice and Experiences (WSSSPE3). GCE15 attracted 40 attendees, including international researchers from academia and industry, program officers, gateway developers, and students and faculty from underrepresented communities. Science gateways are web portals developed by and for communities of practice. They provide access to all types of resources – remote instruments, curated data collections, supercomputers, and many others. They are used by scientists, engineers, researchers, and educators in many fields. The complex, digital, collaborative nature of research has resulted in accelerated growth of gateways. The purpose of science gateway workshops is to provide a forum to showcase science gateway projects and related technologies. The workshops feature keynote talks, contributed talks, and posters. This year attendees were able to set a portion of the agenda interactively through the use of Open Space Technology. The workshops also provide opportunities to publish, thereby furthering the exchange of knowledge in the gateway community. At the workshops, developers can learn from one another and learn about new technologies. Principal investigators can keep abreast of the state of the field. This special issue features contributions in the areas of technologies for building and operating gateways as well as experience papers describing fully functional gateways.
