Opal deployment
The Opal toolkit has been used to deploy several scientific applications as Web services,
such as Autodock, PDB2PQR, MEME, Continuity, Blast, APBS, Babel, etc.
Below a list of deployed services running Opal (to be added to this list e-mail clem A T sdsc.edu):
Applications that use Opal services
List of applications that use the Opal Toolkit for access to remote scientific applications:
- Gemstone:
Many of the web services developed using the Opal toolkit are available for access via Gemstone, which is a Mozilla Firefox-based rich client framework.
- PMV:
The Python Molecular Viewer uses the Opal toolkit to access Viper database and APBS web services hosted by NBCR.
- Kepler:
The Kepler workflow management software distributes workflow examples which couple Opal-based web services for MEME and MAST.
- My WorkSphere:
The NBCR portal uses the Opal toolkit to rapidly expose applications, such as MEME, as portlets.
- MEME Web Submission Form:
This provides a Web interface to launch MEME jobs on NBCR resources, exposed as Opal services.
- PDB2PQR Web Submission Form:
This provides a Web interface to launch PDB2PQR jobs on NBCR resources, also exposed as Opal services
- Camera Labs:
Camera Labs is using Opal to expose bioinformatics applications, such as Blast, as Web services.
