Biomedical Informatics Research Network BIRN Workflow Portal

Biomedical Informatics Research Network Goals 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

Biomedical Informatics Research Network Vision presented Oct 2005 Ontology Consent Discovery Data flowing Custom Interfaces A program Workflow DB Security

Biomedical Informatics Research Network Creation of Workflow Portal Started October 2005 Allows processing of standard workflows through main BIRN portal. Stabilizes many aspects of the environment used in a calculation. Allows publication of proprietary algorithms. Requires de-identification during a calculation. Results flow into standard database model for retrieval.

Future Goals For March mBIRN AHM

Biomedical Informatics Research Network Final hardening of the Portal workflow 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

Biomedical Informatics Research Network Assure that LONI pipelines can be run through the workflow portal

Biomedical Informatics Research Network Next 2 years when March goals are achieved Release workflow for gradient distortion correction algorithm that requires proprietary spherical harmonic information Streamline and possibly redefine BIRND-UP functionality so that images can be de-identified without user interaction Formalize web services to allow portal workflows to be evoked from the infrastructure of XNAT and HID Work towards complete support of specific BIRN project through workflow portal
