Project Trident

Project Trident from Microsoft Research
A scientific workflow workbench, allowing researchers in any discipline to build their own custom computer experiments without relying on computer scientists.
This uses companion technologies like, Dryad and DryadLINQ, adding capabilities to multiprocessor systems and large computer "clusters", to enable those experiments handling extremely large computations, like those required by Neptune.
A workflow in science is the process of turning raw data from sensors and other sources into information that researchers can use.
Project Trident begins with the Windows Workflow Foundation,. From there, the team has built all of the tools and services that are unique to scientific workflow. As it uses widely available Microsoft Technologies, Project Trident enables scientists to plug into many different systems and reuse piece of experiements in new ways.
Project Trident also provides for what's known as "provenance" - the ability to re-create an experiment to validate teh result - along with a registered repository of workflows that lets scientists know who wrote the workflow, how long it's been around and where its code came from.
