X Abstract

SUMMARY: This work presents two independent approaches for a seamless integration of computational grids with the bioinformatics workflow suite Taverna. These are supported by a unique relational database to link applications with grid resources and presents those as workflow elements. A web portal facilitates its collaborative maintenance. The first approach implements a gateway service to handle authentication certificates and all communication with the grid. It reads the database to spawn web services for workflow elements which are in turn used by Taverna. The second approach lets Taverna communicate with the grid on its own, by means of a newly developed plug-in. It reads the database and executes the needed tasks directly on the grid. While the gateway service is non-intrusive, the plug-in has technical advantages, e. g., by allowing data to remain on the grid while being passed between workflow elements.
