Abstract:
Service-oriented Science (SOS) represents a SOA approach to federating data access and analysis across different institutional and disciplinary sources, thus facilitating large scale scientific collaboration. The US National Cancer Institute’s Biomedical Information Grid (a.k.a., caBIG) program seeks to create both a service computing infrastructure (caGrid) and a suite of data and analytical services. Workflow tools in caGrid facilitate both the use and creation of services by accelerating service discovery, composition and orchestration tasks.
In this talk we use caGrid as a case of service computing in biomedical science and include a combination of research and engineering effort made by our team. The following aspects are to be covered: 1) the motivation of SOS and an overview of state-of-the-art; we will highlight some examples in biomedical and bioinformatics field; 2) caGrid architecture, the service creation and management tools it offers and the services it hosts; 3) Taverna workbench as the workflow solution of caGrid, and how we enhanced it to fulfill the requirements from caGrid community; 4) the challenges we faced and the lessons learned.
