Dear users, We are pleased to announce the release of Opal plugin for Taverna. The Opal toolkit (http://opal.nbcr.net)[1] provides a mechanism to wrap up existing scientific applications rapidly as Web services, and expose them to various clients. The implementation provides features such as scheduling (e.g. using Condor and SGE via Globus or DRMAA) and security (using GSI-based certificates), Furthermore, the service provides job and data management (by executing every job in a separate working directory), and state management (by storing the service state via Hibernate into a database such as HSQL, PostgreSQL, MySQL or DB2). The application developer specifies a configuration for a scientific application and deploys the application as a service following a small sequence of steps. End-users can now access this application remotely using the WSDL of the service.
Our Opal plugin allows the user to use any Opal 2.x services from Taverna and construct workflows based on Opal services. A GUI is automatically generated for each Opal web service. Documentation for the Opal-Taverna plugin and other Opal workflow plugins can be found at Taverna (tested w version 2.2): https://www.nbcr.net/pub/wiki/index.php?title=Taverna VisTrails (tested w version 1.5): https://www.nbcr.net/pub/wiki/index.php?title=VisTrails Kepler (tested w version 2): https://www.nbcr.net/pub/wiki/index.php?title=Kepler ----------------------------------------------------------------------- [1] Ren J, Williams N, Clementi L, Krishnan S, Li WW.
