+The Taverna suite of tools are bringing together a range of features to make it easier for users to find, design and execute complex workflows and share them with other people.
+
+Freely available
+
+ Java, open source, LPGL licensed (GPL for Astronomy versions)
+
+Suite of tools to design, edit and execute workflows
+
+ Workflow design and execution in Taverna Workbench
+ Command line execution of workflows
+ Remote execution of workflows on a Taverna server
+ Invoke workflows from the Internet
+
+Wide range of services and extensible architecture
+
+ Service discovery
+ Various service types available: WSDL-style and RESTful Web services, BioMart, BioMoby, SoapLab, R, Beanshell, Excel and csv spreadsheets
+ Service creation for external tools or Java libraries
+ Calling tools/scripts on a local machine or remote machines (via ssh)
+ Extensible service plug-in architecture for adding new service types
+ Fully integrated support for browsing curated service catalogues, such as the BioCatalogue, for Web services (WSDL/SOAP and REST)
+ Interaction with a running workflow within a web browser
+ Ability to define and share semantically annotated components, and have them used as services in workflows
+
+Secure
+
+ Support for secure services (HTTP authentication, WS-Security, X.509 client authentication)
+ Secure management of usersâ credentials
+
+Versatile Workbench
+
+ Tabs for finding, designing and executing workflows
+ Fully graphical workflow design
+ Drag and drop workflow components
+ Comprehensive undo/redo
+ Built-in help facility

+ Workflow validation and debugging
+
+Create your own or start from existing workflows
+
+ Easy design of new workflows
+ Load existing workflows (from a disk, myExperiment or a URL)
+ View workflow layout and logic
+ Modify existing workflows
+ Load workflows in off-line mode (when disconnected from the Internet)
+ Nested workflows (sub workflows)
+ Workflow validation during design time for debugging while composing a workflow
+ Built-in detection when a serviceâs interface changes or a service go off-line during design time
+
+Find workflows created by others and share yours
+
+ Full myExperiment search options for browsing workflows
+ Publish workflows on myExperiment for use by others
+
