-Apache Airavata is a software toolkit currently used to build science gateways
but that has a much wider potential use. It provides features to compose,
manage, execute, and monitor small to large scale applications and workflows on
computational resources ranging from local clusters to national grids and
computing clouds. Gadgets interfaces to Airavata back end services can be
deployed in open social containers such as Apache Rave and modify them to suit
their needs. Airavata builds on general concepts of service oriented computing,
distributed messaging, and workflow composition and orchestration.
