Hi Luqman, Your target is still not clear to me. Please break it into sub tasks so that we can help more efficiently. Or you can try Kepler first before getting more specific questions to ask.
About Kepler workflow execution on EC2, I did some experiments on it and don't think it is hard to execute Kepler workflows on EC2. Best wishes Sincerely yours Jianwu Wang jianwu at sdsc.edu http://users.sdsc.edu/~jianwu/ Assistant Project Scientist Scientific Workflow Automation Technologies (SWAT) Laboratory San Diego Supercomputer Center University of California, San Diego San Diego, CA, U.S.A.
