This software is a tool for coordinating web services, offered for free and open source. It enables users to manage workflows efficiently.
Freefluo, an IT Innovation developed workflow orchestration tool for web services, is available to all users from the Freefluo Sourceforge Site. This tool efficiently handles WSDL based web service invocation, while supporting two XML workflow languages - one based on IBM's WSFL and the other named XScufl, that is currently under development as part of the Taverna Sourceforge project.
Freefluo is highly flexible, boasting a reusable orchestration framework that's not tied to any workflow language or execution architecture. It comes with extension libraries that enable the execution of workflows written in a subset of WSFL. Discovery via standard UDDI and provenance recording are also supported.
Furthermore, Freefluo is just one component within the myGrid toolkit, which comprises several other useful software components. These components are designed to showcase higher level functionalities over an existing Grid infrastructure, supporting scientists in the utilization of complex distributed resources. The higher level functionalities range from service lookup and discovery to provenance and data storage.
In summary, Freefluo is a highly flexible and efficient workflow orchestration tool that supports two XML workflow languages and the execution of workflows written in a subset of WSFL. It also supports discovery and provenance recording. As a component of the myGrid toolkit, Freefluo contributes to the provision of higher level functionalities that aid scientists in utilizing complex distributed resources.
