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.
If you are interested in installing Conan and developing your own processes, see the developer documentation on the Github wiki.
