Introduction
Kepler helps scientists design models and analyses across a broad range of scientific and engineering disciplines.Kepler Project Website This summer we introduced Kepler into synthetic biology by building a set of new Kepler actors for assembly automation and data connection to Clotho.
Components
In Kepler, a workflow is built from a collection of process steps that run under the control of a supervisor system.
Those separate steps are called "actors", they are represented as square icons but inside them are codes to define what to run in a step. A step can be an input/output operation, a computational function, or even another workflow. These actors are supervised by the "director", which keep track of when to run each actor.
All related information can be found on the Kepler website. To start designing workflows from available actors, please read the online manuals: Kepler Documentation
Workflow
Cross-Software Connection
One of the key challenge for biology tool development is how to effectively share and cooperate. This year we strengthen the possibility of connection between multiple software. In particular, the Clotho platform from last year
and Kepler can connect and send data through the remore interface with Java RMI. This RMI connection will guarantee Clotho and Kepler to talk to any Java software that import the same interface.
