Dear Kepler developers,
I have a collection of Java classes linked by a custom dataflow architecture.
All classes are in a single project but some of these classes call executables
written in languages other than Java. I am investigating the possibility of
transitioning to Kepler. Essentially my desires are to link these Java classes
in a DAG representing the dataflow and to execute the dataflow in Amazon EC2.
The data flowing along the edges are arbitrary custom Java classes.
Additionally it is important to cache intermediate results. The data is
acquired from a few web services: iRefIndex, IntAct, UniProt, and Gene
Ontology. There are complex software dependencies so after setting up the
dataflow I would like to save the entire system as an abstract machine image
(AMI). How difficult would this transition be, and would it be worth the
effort? I would appreciate your comments and advice.
Sincerely, with best wishes,
