Abstract

Support for automated service discovering and workflow composition is increasingly important as the number of Web Services and data types in bioinformatics and biomedicine grows. jORCA is a desktop client able to discover and invoke Web Services published in different types of service metadata repositories. In this paper, we report that jORCA is now able to discover, compose, edit, store, export and enact workflows. As proof of concept, we present a case study which re-creates a published workflow to demonstrate new functionality in jORCA, starting from service discovery, workflow generation and refinement; to enactment, monitoring and visualization of results. The system has been exhaustively tested and documented and is freely available at http://www.bitlab-es.com/jorca.
