AstroGrid: Taverna in the Virtual Observatory .
K. Benson, Nicholas A. Walton · MmSAI · 2009
This paper reports on the implementation of the Taverna workbench by AstroGrid, a tool for designing and executing workflows of tasks in the Virtual Observatory. The workflow approach helps astronomers perform complex task sequences with little technical effort. Visual approach to workflow construction streamlines highly complex analysis over public and private data and uses computational resources as minimal as a desktop computer. Some integration issues and future work are discussed in this article.
