Workflow applications on EGI with WS-PGRADE
→
Europe/Amsterdam
Description
WS-PGRADE is an open source, Liferay-based web portal environment for the design and execution of compute and data intensive applications on grid and cloud platforms. Applications can be defined in the form of data-driven workflows in WS-PGRADE. Steps within a workflow can be executable applications, Virtual Machine images, or online (Web) Services. These computational steps are connected through data-dependencies within the workflow: The output of one computation can serve as input of the next one. WS-PRADE resolves data dependencies and manages the computational operations on the infrastructure resources. The back-end system of WS-PGRADE is compatible with various academic and commercial grid and cloud systems, including federated clouds and gLite clusters of EGI. Moreover, scientific communities can connect workflow-specific Web interfaces to WS-PGRADE to simplify the execution of workflows for researchers. This is enabled by the 'Remote API' component of WS-PGRADE, a programming interface that exposes the workflow registry and the workflow manager service to third party clients. During the webinar the main capabilities of WS-PGRADE will be presented and demonstrated. The event will also provide opportunity to discuss scientific applications that would benefit from the use of WS-PGRADE to access EGI cloud and grid resources.
