Web Portal for job submission

A web portal is an important feature to help the user to get used with sophisticated supercomputing infrastructures, by hiding from them the complexities of the computational environment.

In OAR we use Monika and Gantt for monitoring jobs and visualization functionalities. What we need is a web portal for job submissions. The web portal should be able to provide all the possible options provided when command line (ex. batch/interactive jobs, reservations, checkpoint/restart feature, besteffort/deploy type of jobs ...etc).

OAR has a REST API that provides most of the necessary features to build a web portal on top of it. This API should be used for this project. An important point should be discussed at the beginning of the project: authentication and how is it coupled to the API authentication. The portal should also provide a configuration wizard to OAR administrators. So this project is linked to the Oaradmin API Proposal.
