 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

-    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 service’s interface changes or a service go off-line during design time
