> Airavata's GFac enables users to wrap as web services and then use XBaya to drag and drop those components to a workspace and define data flow and control flow dependencies among the application nodes. Airavata's workflow system is used for composing, executing, and monitoring workflow graphs of web service components. The workflow description is high level abstraction and is converted to lower level execution run times like BPEL, SCUFL and Python scripts. 
> Amazon Simple Workflow Service (Amazon SWF) is a newly launched workflow service from Amazon. This service is of interest to Airavata user community to execute coupled applications on Amazon cloud computational resources. 
> Extend Airavata workflow execution to support Amazon SWF will enhance the capabilities provided by Airavata. The airavata developer community will provide detailed guidance and assistance. 
> There is extensive literature about Airavata WS Messenger including 4 research papers. The Airavata community will provide guidance and assistance with the project. 
> User community & Impact of the software: Airavata is primarily targeted to build science gateways using computational resources from various disciplines. The initial targeted set of gateways include projects supporting research and education in chemistry, life sciences, biophysics, environmental sciences, geosciences astronomy and nuclear physics. The goal of airavata is to enhance productivity of these gateways to utilize cyberinfrastructure of resources (e.g., local lab resources, the Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment (XSEDE), the Open Science Grid (OSG), University Clusters, Academic and Commercial Computational Clouds like FutureGrid & Amazon EC2). By using open community based software components and services like Airavata, gateways will be able to focus on providing additional scientific capabilities and to expanding the number of supported users. The capabilities of these gateways will offer clear benefits to society.
