Conan is an extremely light-weight workflow management application. It is designed to provide a user-friendly interface to interact with various components of the “script-chaining” types workflows that are typical in bioinformatics.
Conan was developed to handle the various loading scenarios and workflows involved in the ArrayExpress and the GXA databases. However, it is available as a standalone tool and can be customised to chain processes (for example, Java processes, perl or shell scripts) together in a resuable way. It is possible to install the Conan web application in your own environments and put together a new workflow with a minimum amount of development.
Conan was extended to handle “execution contexts”: it will adapt how it calls out to external processes, such as external binaries or scripts, based on the spcecified environment. For example, conan can be instructed to execute commands in a scheduled environment such as LSF or PBS, or on a local unscheduled machine. Users can also incorperate their own commands that should be executed prior to processes in the conan pipeline. This is useful if you must run commands to load software in your environment.
If you are interested in installing Conan and developing your own processes, see the developer documentation on the Github wiki.
