Progress towards automated Kepler scientific workflows for computer-aided drug discovery and molecular simulations
Procedia Computer Science (29:1745-55)
We describe the development of automated workflows that support computed-aided drug discovery (CADD) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and are included as part of the National Biomedical Computation Resource (NBCR). The main workflow components include: file-management tasks, ligand force field parameterization, receptor-ligand molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, job submission, serial and parallel execution, and monitoring on relevant high-performance computing (HPC) resources, receptor…
We describe the development of automated workflows that support computed-aided drug discovery (CADD) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and are included as part of the National Biomedical Computation Resource (NBCR). The main workflow components include: file-management tasks, ligand force field parameterization, receptor-ligand molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, job submission, serial and parallel execution, and monitoring on relevant high-performance computing (HPC) resources, receptor structural clustering, virtual screening (VS), and statistical analyses of the VS results. The workflows aim to standardize simulation and analysis and promote best practices within the molecular simulation and CADD communities. Each component is developed as a stand-alone workflow, which should allow for easy integration into larger frameworks built suiting user needs, while remaining intuitive and easy to extend.

WIFIRE: A Scalable Data-Driven Monitoring, Dynamic Prediction and Resilience Cyberinfrastructure for Wildfires
- Present
The WIFIRE CI (cyberinfrastructure) builds an integrated system for wildfire analysis, with specific regard to changing urban dynamics and climate. The system integrates networked observations such as heterogeneous satellite data and real-time remote sensor data, with computational techniques in signal processing, visualization, modeling, and data assimilation to provide a scalable method to monitor such phenomena as weather patterns that can help predict a wildfire's rate of spread.

bioKepler: A Comprehensive Bioinformatics Scientific Workflow Module for Distributed Analysis of Large-Scale Biological Data
- Present
bioKepler project builds a Kepler module to execute bioinformatics tools using distributed execution patterns. Once customized, these components are executed on multiple distributed platforms including various Cloud and Grid computing platforms. In addition, bioKepler delivers virtual machines including a Kepler engine and all bioinformatics tools and applications distributed in bioKepler.
