Airavata is a framework which enables a user to build Science Gateways. It is used to compose, manage, execute and monitor distributed applications and workflows on computational resources. These computational resources can range from local resources to computational grids and clouds.

8. Solution Architecture

9. Architecture - Main Components
● EC2 Provider
● Cloud Scheduler
● Scheduling algorithms
● Extension points

10. Success Stories - BioVLab
● MicroRNAs, play critical roles in
developmental biology and the
etiology of numerous diseases,
including cancer.
● Ability to conduct genome-wide
microRNA-mRNA (gene) integration
currently requires sophisticated, high-
end informatics tools

11. BioVLab Workflow

12. BioVLab Workflow - Result

13. Why BioVLab use Airavata?
● Easily modifiable by graphic icons in
workflow.
● On-demand use of cloud resources.
● Distributed orchestration is
supporting complex and long running
workflows asynchronously.

14. Why BioVLab use Airavata ...?
● Reduces the burden on the user.
● User only has to focus on the real
application rather than the
infrastructure.
● Instance management through a GUI.

15. Airavata Platform
