[Bioclusters] pipeline pilot vs. taverna?

[Wilfred Li]

It seems that if your users are already using Accelrys tools, pipeline
pilot would be a better choice, and the support you may receive. Mostly
depends on your budget. PP also support web services, like Taverna.

Cheers,

Wilfred

Hi folks,

Without meaning to incite any flame wars, I would like to ask about the
relative advantages of Pipeline Pilot and Taverna.

To be more specific, I am joining a startup drug-discovery company,
which
will use a combination of computational and wet-lab chemistry. The
computational chemists will use a lot of Accelrys tools, as well as
software
from other vendors. We are looking for a tool to automate computational
workflows, and the leading candidates seem to be Pipeline Pilot and
Taverna.

>From your experience, what are the strengths of the two tools? Does
Pipeline
Pilot operate better with the Accelrys tools because they're from the
same
company?

Thanks,
Hershel Safer
