+
+Apache Airavata originated from the [Extreme Computing Lab][extreme] at [Indiana University][iu]
+then directed by [Dr. Dennis Gannon][dennis]. The concepts and initial versions of the code is a byproduct
+of over a dozen PhD dissertations and years of research and development efforts. The software is
+initially envisioned to meet the challenging goals of the [Linked Environments for Atmospheric Discovery (LEAD)][lead] project.
+
+## LEAD Science Gateway
+
+LEAD has pioneered new approaches for integrating, modeling, and mining complex weather data and
+Cyberinfrastructure systems to enable faster-than-real-time severe weather forecasts.
+LEAD goals required to create a dynamically adaptive, on-demand, grid-enabled workflow system
+supporting long running applications and on-demand computing. LEAD has subsequently produced close
+to 450 research publications combined in all disciplines. The resulting software framework was built
+on the concepts of service oriented architectures powering the LEAD Gateway Portal~\cite{leadportal}.
+
+## Open Gateway Computing Environments
+
+The [Open Gateway Computing Environments (OGCE)][ogce] adopted the LEAD workflow suite
+generalized, enhanced, tested and maintained the software evolving into the OGCE workflow suite.
+OGCE has promoted collaborative software development through SourceForge and has worked together
+with various universities and Lanka Software Foundation in enriching and sustaining the software.
+
+## Science Gateways Programs
+
+The Science Gateways Program within [TeraGrid][teragrid] Grid Infrastructure Group and its follow on
+[Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment(XSEDE)][xsede] has significantly contributed to
+the enrichment and wider adoption of the legacy versions of the Airavata software. These extensive usage
+by various science gateways has matured the software and building in fault tolerant capabilities.
