http://wings-workflows.org

A software application which assists scientists with designing computational experiments. WINGS is a semantic workflow system which incorporates semantic constraints about datasets and workflow components into its workflow representations. The workflow system has an open modular design and can be easily integrated with other existing workflow systems and execution frameworks to extend them with semantic reasoning capabilities. WINGS also allows users to express high-level descriptions of their analysis goals, and assists them by automatically and systematically generating possible workflows that are consistent with that request. In cases where privacy or off-line use are important, WINGS can submit workflows in a scripted format for execution in the local host. It uses Pegasus or OODT as the execution engine for large-scale distributed workflow execution.

http://animatlab.com/

A software tool that combines biomechanical simulation and biologically realistic neural networks to create realistic models of, and perform tests on, biomechanical workings. AnimatLab was primarily designed to model and test the operation of neural circuits that might produce behavior patterns observed in an intact animal. Users can create an animalistic or robotic body and place it in a virtual environment with physics that are accurate and realistic. Users can then design a nervous system that controls the behavior of the body within the physically realistic environment. Various models for different types of actions, builds, and movements are available.
