GoalsGoals

• Allow mBIRN software to be consumed by both inside and outside groups on a consistent computing platform

• Able to integrate various different pipeline applications (LONI, FIPS, jBPM) into an analysis

• Infinite undo/redo from various points in an analysis; able to recalculate and compare results

• Possible to distribute computing to various sites by promoting web services

Final hardening of the Portal Final hardening of the Portal workflow applicationworkflow application

• Provide complete workflow management solution in the Workbench– Improve functioning with GAMA authentication server– Improve flow with the SRB through client plug-in in the Workbench that

allows interactions with the SRB with a robust file management UI– Incorporate view in Workbench for start, parameter entry, and status

views to provide complete workbench solution– Package all pieces as Eclipse plug-ins

• Improve error handling and reporting within internal operation of workflow software.

• Make ROCKs build• Complete the support for data provenance as currently specified• Add ontology of workflows to BIRNLex• Finalize and provide documentation for:

– creating the application wrapper– creating additions to the workflow ontology– storing results in the workflows database


• Release workflow for gradient distortion correction algorithm that requires proprietary spherical harmonic information

• Assure that LONI pipelines can be run through the workflow portal

Integration with Upload GoalsIntegration with Upload Goals

• Upload of image files (only) to SRB built into current BIRN Workflow manager.

• Server-sided clinical data management may be modeled after NIH NCBC project.
