2. Main content Background Development Implementing major functions by web service Organizing those web services by workflow Windows Workflow Foundation Providing access by AJAX based interface

3. System architecture and major functions Background Creating input files Jaguar, ADF and DMOL Result analysis Extracting structural information Converting structural file formats Generating frequencies list and vibration movies Molecular orbital list and scripts for 3D orbital graph IR, UV/VIS and NMR spectrum generation Orbital overlap Splitting alpha and beta molf Managing project information via database Other utilities File transfer

4. Objectives Provide a powerful web based portal for potential internet users Access Varuna functions Visit, query our QM database Use our resource without installing additional software (B/S Architecture) Federate and curate other popular databases (Pubmed) Manage our resources efficiently Central data management Access control Fulfill new requirements (task automation) Background

5. New system architecture and solution Background Using Web services Implement major and new requirements Using workflow Organizing web services Providing task template (library) Using AJAX ( Asynchronous JavaScript and XML)Asynchronous JavaScriptXML Powerful interface (Interactive) Reduce server workload

6. Web service Definition (From Wiki) Web services are application programming interfaces (API) that can be accessed over a network, which uses SOAP-formatted XML envelopes to request and response and have their interfaces described by WSDL.application programming interfacesSOAPXMLinterfacesWSDL Advantage Integrating (as glue) various software (Jaguar, ADF, DMOL, GAMESS and GAUSSIAN) Deployed and accessed under Windows, Unix and Macintosh Developed by all the popular program language (Java, C#, VB and C++) Easy to collaborated with other teams (Chem-Grid) (Developed independently) Technology

13. Workflow Activities stored as a model that describe a real world process. (Web service, code). Providing a way of describing the order of execution and dependent relationships within task or between tasks. Once compiled it can be executed inside any Windows process including console apps, forms- based apps, Windows Services, ASP.NET web sites and web services. From MSDN Technology

14. Windows workflow foundation Programming model, engine and tools for quickly building workflow enabled applications Component of.Net 3.0 Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), a service-oriented messaging system which allows programs to interoperate locally or remotely similar to web services. Windows Workflow Foundation (WWF) allows for building of task automation and integrated transactions using workflows. Windows CardSpace (WCS), which securely stores a person's digital identities and provides a unified interface for choosing the identity for a particular transaction, Supporting both system workflow and human workflow workflow within line of business applications user interface page-flow document-centric workflow human workflow composite workflow for service oriented applications business rule driven workflow and workflow for systems management. Advantage Assembling functions Task automation Technology From MSDN
