Importing neuGRID Workflows in VIP

Abstract

We describe the Express Lane2VIP system to import neu GRID workflows in the Virtual Imaging Platform (VIP), based on (1) a supervised parsing and analysis of neu GRID workflows, (2) a template-based creation of VIP workflows, and (3) a VIP-neu GRID integration allowing VIP workflows to be executed on neu GRID. We test our system on 18 neu GRID workflows wrapping neuroimaging applications. Twelve (12) of these workflows could be successfully imported and executed in VIP at a reduced human cost.
