    • An Introduction to Taverna Workflows
      • I found the following on the web while the one specifically for this workshop was passed around on a data key:
        • An Introduction to Taverna Workflows
      • The first time I ran the runme.bat nothing happened, but the second time it started working, but failed. Running from a command shell seemed to get things a bit further...
      • Ran through nearly all the basic tutorial before lunch.
      • Some feedback on the advanced section:
        • Find all the workflows containing BLAST searches.
          • How did you find them?
            • With the search tool.
          • How many are there?
            • 19
          • Can they all be downloaded?
            • No
          • Which is the most downloaded workflow?
            • BioAID_DiseaseDiscovery
          • Which is the most viewed workflow?
            • BioAID_DiseaseDiscovery
            • The same as the most downloaded!
          • What research interests does the VL-e group have?
            • VL-E: Approaches to Design a Grid-Based Virtual Laboratory
            • http://www.wtcw.nl/nl/projecten/summary.pdf
            • http://www.vl-e.nl/

        • Shared workflows with the rest of the Tutorial Group on myExperiment, uploading them and setting the permissions so that those in the 'Tutorial' group can see them:
          • Added a workflow backing up most of the mornings work :-)
          • Modified workflow and I think it is as it should be now :-)
          • Unfortunately, due to a fault, no others could see the workflows I added :-( although it was clear to them they existed and I checked that they should have permissions for this :-)
            • Katy is going to look into this with her colleagues as there is a fault with the system.
          • Tried adding a further Example Workflow , but for some reason this failed on the two attempts made.
    • Feedback/discussion
      • Shiv Kaushal pointed me to http://www.xmethods.net/ve2:
        • XML-to-URL
        • http://www.xmethods.net/ve2/ViewListing.po?key=uuid:0D572C3C-FDFE-9CB1-C21C-A755F2F1B169
      • Katy informed us that (Active)BPEL is also supported by OMII:
        • How is ActiveBPEL different to OMII-BPEL I wonder...
          • http://sse.cs.ucl.ac.uk/omii-bpel/docs/userguide.html
          • http://swik.net/ActiveBPEL
          • http://www.omii.ac.uk/docs/3.2.0/user_guide/omii_release/sc_services/bpel/run_bpel.htm
        • David Withers working on security aspects:
          • I'll suggest Junaid Arshad join myExperiment and contact David.
        • Taverna 2.X is due out in a month or so and should be stable by the end of June.
