On behalf of the entire caGrid core infrastructure team, I am pleased to announce the release of version 1.2 of caGrid core infrastructure. All the release artifacts can be accessed here Some of the key enhancements for the release include Creation of a simplified Grid Transfer Service to handle large scale data transfer for grid based queries Integration with the latest releases of Software Development Kit (SDK) and Common Security Module (CSM) Availability of a new Web based Single Sign On Framework, called WebSSO, for providing single sign on capability for web based applications integrated with caGrid GAARDs security infrastructure, based on collaboration with the caBIG Clinical Trials Suite (CCTS) team from the Clinical Trials Management Systems Workspace Substantial improvements to usability of tools such as Introduce Toolkit based on user feedback Integration with Apache Ivy build system for improved dependency management of sub components within the caGrid core infrastructure Early preview to integration with the Taverna Workbench for developing workflows, based on collaboration with the Integrative Cancer Research Workspace Backward compatible with the caGrid 1.0 and caGrid 1.1 We would like to thank Dr. Carole Goble (University of Manchester, UK) and the Taverna team for their support during the workflow integration activity. Feel free to contact us if you have questions or suggestions. Avinash Shanbhag

Call for papers for the First International Workshop on Semantic Metadata Management and Applications Co-located with the Fifth European Semantic Web Conference ESWC2008

myGrid is a suite of components designed to support in silico science, encompassing workflow design and execution, data and metadata management and provenance collection.
The wealth of bioinformatics resources and data available in the public domain provides scientists with great opportunities for research, but the distribution and heterogeneity of the data means that integrating resources is challenging.
myGrid addresses this problem by providing a mechanism of interoperating and integrating between these resources using Taverna workflows. Taverna workflows connect distributed web services and other services. Most of these services are not developed or maintained by myGrid, they are provided by third parties, for example, the major bioinformatics service providers – EBI, NCBI, DDBJ, and KEGG. In most cases, they are not even developed for Taverna, we simply exploit the Web Service technologies being adopted by the community.

myGrid and Taverna Services

Taverna can now access over 3000 services in the bioinformatics domain and others in the fields of astronomy, chemoinformatics, health informatics and many more.
Taverna can access ANY WSDL web service. You do not need to alter a service in any way; you simply need to give Taverna the address of the WSDL document. Taverna can also access other types of service, for instance, local java services, BioMoby and BioMart services, or simple beanshell scripts. Please see our service list for details of the services we are currently aware of. If you would like to add your services to this list, please contact us.
