Summary: [GSoC] Airavata Workflow Enactment to support Amazon Simple
Workflow Service (was: Extend Airavata Workflow Enactment to support Amazon
Simple Workflow Service)
> [GSoC] Airavata Workflow Enactment to support Amazon Simple Workflow Service
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AIRAVATA-340
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRAVATA-340
> Project: Airavata
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: XBaya
> Affects Versions: 0.4-INCUBATING
> Reporter: Suresh Marru
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: gsoc2012, mentor
>
> Airavata's GFac enables users to wrap as web services and then use XBaya to
> drag and drop those components to a workspace and define data flow and
> control flow dependencies among the application nodes. Airavata's workflow
> system is used for composing, executing, and monitoring workflow graphs of
> web service components. The workflow description is high level abstraction
> and is converted to lower level execution run times like BPEL, SCUFL and
> Python scripts.
> Amazon Simple Workflow Service (Amazon SWF) is a newly launched workflow
> service from Amazon. This service is of interest to Airavata user community
> to execute coupled applications on Amazon cloud computational resources.
> Extend Airavata workflow execution to support Amazon SWF will enhance the
> capabilities provided by Airavata. The airavata developer community will
> provide detailed guidance and assistance.
> There is extensive literature about Airavata WS Messenger including 4
> research papers. The Airavata community will provide guidance and assistance
> with the project.
> User community & Impact of the software: Airavata is primarily targeted to
> build science gateways using computational resources from various
> disciplines. The initial targeted set of gateways include projects supporting
> research and education in chemistry, life sciences, biophysics, environmental
> sciences, geosciences astronomy and nuclear physics. The goal of airavata is
> to enhance productivity of these gateways to utilize cyberinfrastructure of
> resources (e.g., local lab resources, the Extreme Science and Engineering
> Discovery Environment (XSEDE), the Open Science Grid (OSG), University
> Clusters, Academic and Commercial Computational Clouds like FutureGrid &
> Amazon EC2). By using open community based software components and services
> like Airavata, gateways will be able to focus on providing additional
> scientific capabilities and to expanding the number of supported users. The
> capabilities of these gateways will offer clear benefits to society.
