- Workflow and Service Components
Page History
...
This forum is about both workflow (middleware) software and services, also called components, (small chunks of code for performing specific tasks). Please use a very broad definition since any sort of software that can be used to connect or compose services into larger processes fits in this forum. Equally, any software that has been found to be useful by the community and can be made into a re-usable component is appropriate to this forum. Both fully automated processes and those which include people should be part of these discussions. Also, it's not just about software! The layout of the processes, often called business processes and business integration patterns, are equally part of the discussion. None of these discussion need to be Fedora-specific since this is all about connecting any component from any source including your existing systems.

A demonstration of how to use Fedora to provide data to the Kepler Scientific Workflow Engine | Experimental | Fedora 3.2+ | Rick Moore - Fedora Commons | |
A prototype, ruby-based workflow manager listening to the JMS | Prototype | Fedora 3.2+ | Chris Beer - WGBH | |
A Java program to listen to JMS messages from Fedora and launch an external script to handle those messages. Essentially it acts as a kind of "gateway" connecting JMS and a script (XProc, bash, JavaScript, Windows batch file, etc), analogously to how CGI connects HTTP and a script. | Released | Fedora 3.4+ | ||
| Fedora/Taverna Integration | A PHP-based microservices framework that listens to Fedora's JMS messages and launches triggered workflows to a Taverna Server. | Released 2014-01-20 | Fedora 3.6+ (possibly earlier versions) | Mark Leggott |
