+Taverna has been used in engineering projects:
+
+[Jet Propusion Laboratory][1] (JPL) -using Taverna as the Web services-based infrastructure for their 
+   Observing Systems Simulation Experiments (OSSE) project (modelling how mission design objectives impact science)</li>

+
+##JPL##
+NASA’s [Jet Propulsion Laboratory][2] (JPL), based at the California Institute of Technology, 
+   created the first American satellite, 
+   sent the first robotic craft to the moon and currently has twenty spacecraft on active missions.
+The JPL have been involved in yet another giant leap for mankind: they have adopted Taverna as the Web services -
+   based infrastructure for their Observing Systems Simulation Experiments (OSSE) project. 
+The JPL are applying OSSE in the study of science algorithms as part of a proposed hyper-spectral imaging mission.
+
+JPL considered a number of different research and commercial workflow systems and finally settled on Taverna. 
+"The thing that really sold us on Taverna was the dynamic WSDL introspection and presentation of the 
+   WSDL interface as ports of a process component" - said Hook Hua, 
+   a member of the High Capability Computing and Modeling Group at JPL. 
+Taverna's recent overhaul appears to have helped their decision too, as Hook Hua describes 
+   "one of the initial reasons we chose to use Taverna was its polished look and feel when compared to 
+   other workflow engines".
