-##Tutorial
-1. Download the latest Airavata release pack from downloads link and extract, for future explanation lets assume the path to extracted directory is AIRAVATA_HOME.
-
-2. If JAVA_HOME is not already set;
- - add/modify following entries in ~/.bashrc file.
- - export JAVA_HOME=/home/user/installations/jdk1.6.0_27
- - export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin/
-
-2. Now Run the following scripts in the given order below to start the components of Airavata.
-<br></br>
-AIRAVATA_HOME/bin/airavata-server.sh - This will start SimpleAxis2Server on port 8080 and with default derby database which run on port 1527
-<br></br>
-AIRAVATA_HOME/bin/xbaya-gui.sh - This will start XBaya GUI application.
-<br></br>
-
-3. Click the Xbaya tab and open up an Airavata workflow configuration (.xwf) from file system (sample workflows shipped in with Airavata can be found in AIRAVATA_HOME/samples/workflows)
-eg. Assume that you selected the SimpleMath workflow
-
- * Now Click on the run button (red colored play).
-
- * Then the workflow will get executed.
-
- * Finally the result of the workflow will get displayed.
-
- * Similarly, other workflows can be executed.
-
-##Workflow Samples
-###Basic samples
-1. SimpleMath workflow
-
- * This workflow will hand over the inputs to 4 nodes. Then the results will be handed over to another 2 nodes which will then hand over the results to another node. The last node will output the result of the operation. All the nodes considered are doing addition operations.
+### Description of the sample workfllows
+* **Simple math workflow**:
+This workflow illustrates an example with multiple nodes which can be executed in parallel. After the first 4 parallel nodes are executes, the results are passed to the next set of 2 nodes. This example also illustartes how multiple instances of the same application can be used. All nodes in the workflow are doing addition operations.
</br></br>
-
+
</br></br>
-2. ComplexMath workflow
-
- * This workflow will hand over the inputs to 4 nodes which are doing addition operations. Then the outputs(results) will be handed over to another 2 nodes which are doing multiplication operation. The results of the multiplications are handed over to another node. The last node will do addition operation on the input data and output the resulting value.
+* **Complex math workflow**: This workflow is very similar to the simple math examples, except that there are a mix of both adder and multiplication operations. The goal of this example is to illustrate how to use different operations in a web service as each node in a workflow.
</br></br>
-
+
</br></br>
-###Advanced Samples
-
-XBaya support Parametric Sweeps which can be used to tackle uncertainty of inputs to a workflow. It supports, Cartesian product and Dot product of inputs.
-
-1. Levenshtein Distance workflow
-
- * This workflow will use Airavata's ForEach construct to calculate Levenshtein Distance of strings. This workflow will use cross product to calculate distance.
+* **Levenshtein distance workflow**: The goal of this example is to illustrate the *parametric sweep* capabilities to utilize iterations within a workflow. The number of iterations are determined at run time based on the array size of the for-each node. Both Cartesian and Dot product of inputs are suppported. This example calculates the Levenshtein Distance of strings. The workflow uses cross product to calculate the distance.

+### Register a simple application
- - Second, we will register a Service Description using menu XBaya -> Register Application.
- This information is used to describe our web service i.e. service name, input parameters, and output parameters.
- Since our echo.sh need String as an input and will produce String as output, insert the following value.
- Note*: output parameter name must be echo_output in order to use with this echo.sh sample.
+* Register a simple command line application with Airavata Registry.
+ * Click on XBaya -> Register Application.
+ * Describe the application inputs and outputs. As an example, a simple command line `/bin/echo` can be used for helloworld purposes.
+ * Provide a name for the application.
+ * Click on the panel with "Application Paramaters" and add input and output paremeters. For an example like /bin/echo, choose output as StdOut.

+* The command line application registered in the previous steps is now registered with the Airavata Registry. Now you have the EchoApplication in the Registry.
+* Right Click on the "Application Services" drop down (in left pane) and click Refresh Registry.
+* Create a new workflow: XBaya -> New -> Workflow so you will see a new workflow panel loaded into XBaya.
+* Drag drop the newly created application service into the worklfow pane.
+* Drag drop the Input and Output ports from Components -> System Components
+* Connect the application services to inputs and outputs.
+
+### Execute and monitor the workflow
+
+* Launch the workflow constructed in previous steps.
+
+ - Run the workflow by clicking `Run` -> `Run workflow...`<br> Or just click on the red play icon at the top panel of XBaya.
+ - Specify the input value a string to greet and a experiment name.
+ - The Workflow Interpreter and and GFac URL can be left with default values.
+ - Click OK to launch this worklow
+
+* The workflow will now launch and the **Monitoring** view at the bottom of XBaya will show you the progress of the workflow execution.
+
+* In this quick examples, the node color pretty quickly. But for long running applications and complex workflows, the node changes color from "orange" for not yet launced, to "green" for running and "grey for done". If the application fails, it is indicated by "red" color.
-7. Now you have invoked the workflow and you will direct in to the Monitoring menu at the bottom of XBaya which will
-show you the progress of the workflow invocation.
