             abstract = "In recent years, the volume of astronomical data is increasing due 
                         to advances in observational astronomy and simulations. To cope 
                         with this growth, there is a need for high performance computing 
                         resources and efficient tools for analysis and exploitation of the 
                         data. Moreover, while researchers develop new algorithms and 
                         applications in astronomy, there is also a need for efficient ways 
                         to make them available to the scientific community. Thus, it is 
                         necessary to create the means to spread information to a wide 
                         audience quickly and efficiently. In this scenario, Web portals 
                         can provide a simple interface for different users to have access 
                         to new applications running on a high performance computing 
                         infrastructure, with no need to perform advanced installations and 
                         settings. In this work, we present a Web portal framework for 
                         remote execution of high performance applications in astronomy. In 
                         this framework, a Web server deals with user interactions and 
                         dispatches tasks to an execution server. The framework allows for 
                         an administrator to manage applications that will be available to 
                         users, and also deals with the registration of users interested on 
                         running these applications. We developed this framework using the 
                         Python programming language along with Django Web development 
                         framework and Celery distributed task queue. The Web portal 
                         framework has passed tests using a parallel Friends-of-Friends 
                         application for classification of astronomical objects. For 
                         application execution, the portal deals with operations such as 
                         registration and activation of user accounts, dispatching requests 
                         for the application running and obtaining input and output 
                         files.",
