Design and execute In Silico Workflows with Taverna

More than ever, researchers in pharma and biotech environment rely on in silico experiments to accelerate their research.

Taverna is an open source domain independent workflow management system. With the Taverna Workbench you design and run scientific workflows on your desktop, while the Taverna Server can be used to offload workflow execution to a centralized server.

Taverna workflows consist of the automated execution of services. Taverna can invoke generic WDSL services or other types of services such as SoapLab, BioMoby or Biomart. Services can be housed locally or on public service providers. Although Taverna is used primarely in the field of bioinformatics, it is essentially content agnostic and supports the execution of services in various domains such as chemistry,medicine,... .

Taverna's modular design supports the concept of plugins that allow the wrapping and invocation of specific or custom service types in workflows.

Trispark is familiar with the Taverna technology and can help you integrate Taverna into your R&D environment.
