Title
Design And Implementation Of Phylotastic, A Service Architecture For Evolutionary Biology
Abstract
Access and reuse of authoritative phylogenetic knowledge have been a longstanding challenges in the evolutionary biology community - leading to a number of research efforts (e.g. focused on interoperation, standardization of formats, and development of minimum reporting requirements). The Phylotastic project was launched to provide an answer to such challenges - as an architectural concept collaboratively designed by evolutionary biologists and computer scientists. This paper describes the first comprehensive implementation of the Phylotastic architecture, based on an open platform for Web services composition. The implementation provides a portal, which composes Web services along a fixed collection of workflows, as well as an interface to allow users to develop novel workflows. The Web services composition is guided by automated planning algorithms and built on a Web services registry and an execution monitoring engine. The platform provides resilience through seamless automated recovery from failed services.
