+ <h1 class="title">Airavata Evolution</h1>
+ <p>Apache Airavata originated from the <a href="http://extreme.indiana.edu">Extreme Computing Lab</a> at <a href="http://indiana.edu/">Indiana University</a>
+then directed by <a href="http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/people/degannon/">Dr. Dennis Gannon</a>. 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 <a href="http://leadproject.org">Linked Environments for Atmospheric Discovery (LEAD)</a> project.</p>
+<h2 id="lead_science_gateway">LEAD Science Gateway</h2>
+<p>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}. </p>
+<h2 id="open_gateway_computing_environments">Open Gateway Computing Environments</h2>
+<p>The <a href="http://ogce.org">Open Gateway Computing Environments (OGCE)</a> 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.</p>
+<h2 id="science_gateways_programs">Science Gateways Programs</h2>
+<p>The Science Gateways Program within <a href="https://www.teragrid.org/">TeraGrid</a> Grid Infrastructure Group and its follow on
+<a href="https://www.xsede.org/overview">Extreme Science and Engineering Discovery Environment(XSEDE)</a> 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. </p>
