| Bioinformatics Workflow using ASSIST on GRID (2008) | |||||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||||
| Workflows are very common in bioinformatics because they allow the elaboration of data by delegating the resources management to the information streaming. By the composition of different analysis tools, in fact, it is possible to follow the complex evolution of the biological process. The Web Services technology is very important in this context because allows the exposition of tools that can be used by the bioinformatics community. The problem is the integration of these services because it presupposes the definition of an opportune semantic to be coordinated. On the other hand, the enormous quantity of data to be elaborated demands the development of technologies for the management of the computational load. Grid technology allows the optimization of the different steps in the elaboration process, distributing the assignments. A possible solution to define workflows, that exploit the power of the computational grid and allow the Web Services integration, is the use of a stream oriented programming language like ASSIST to design graph of tasks activated directly by the data flow. | |||||||||||||||
