LabVIEW
LabVIEW [labview] brand software, published by National Instruments Corporation is the most widely-used scientific workflow software. Experiment, simulation, and measurement workflows can be constructed with GUI controls for RAD (rapid application development) tools as well as scripting. LabVIEW software can both host and consume web services. Some researchers at the Trieste Workshop on Web Enabling Technologies & Strategies for Scientific e-Learning are working towards integrating LabVIEW with OGSA-compliant services. LabVIEW is often used in conjunction with Mathematica.
XCAT
XCAT [xcat] is Indiana University’s implementation of the Common Component Architecture [cca]. It is based on Globus on CoG and attempts to integrate the CCA with OGSI. This group says that some projects that use the XCAT system are IU Xports [14], NCSA’s Weather Research and Forecasting, (WRF) and Chemical Engineering [21], GRAPPA [30], Collision Risk Assessment (CRASS) [10], and Linear Systems Analysis (LSA) [10]. Grid application factory service based on the common component architecture XCAT framework. Workflows can be created through an Application Coordinator analogous to a workflow engine
GridFlow
The GridFlow project is a large collaborative project to integrate a wide range of existing grid middleware. Existing systems for resource scheduling, resource management, and performance services were integrated with the Globus toolkit and MDS Information Services. All these component are controlled from a user portal which provides three main functionality simulation, execution, and monitoring. Gridflow uses an XML specification to represent the workflow and offers visual editing tools. Workflows consist of sub-workflow which are mapped onto ‘local’ and ‘global’ grid resources.
