<p>Apache Airavata originated from the Extreme Computing Lab at Indiana University then directed by Dr.
Dennis Gannon. The concepts and initial versions of the code is a byproduct of over a dozen PhD
dissertations and years of research and development efforts. The software is initially envisioned to
meet the challenging goals of the [Linked Environments for Atmospheric Discovery (LEAD) project.</p>

<h2 class="theme-h2-sub-header">LEAD Sience Gateway</h2>
<div class="ui hidden divider"></div>
<p>LEAD has pioneered new approaches for integrating, modeling, and mining complex weather data and
Cyberinfrastructure systems to enable faster-than-real-time severe weather forecasts. LEAD goals
required to create a dynamically adaptive, on-demand, grid-enabled workflow system supporting long
running applications and on-demand computing. LEAD has subsequently produced close to 450 research
publications combined in all disciplines. The resulting software framework was built on the concepts
of service oriented architectures powering the LEAD Gateway Portal.</p>
<h2 class="theme-h2-sub-header">Open Gateway Computing Environments</h2>
<p>The Open Gateway Computing Environments (OGCE) adopted the LEAD workflow suite generalized, enhanced,
tested and maintained the software evolving into the OGCE workflow suite. OGCE has promoted
collaborative software development through SourceForge and has worked together with various
universities and Lanka Software Foundation in enriching and sustaining the software.</p>
<h2 class="theme-h2-sub-header">
TeraGrid/XSEDE Science Gateway Programs
</h2>
<p>The Science Gateways Program within TeraGrid Grid Infrastructure Group and its follow on Extreme
Science and Engineering Discovery Environment(XSEDE) has significantly contributed to the enrichment
and wider adoption of the legacy versions of the Airavata software. These extensive usage by various
science gateways has matured the software and building in fault tolerant capabilities.</p>

<p>The code donated to Airavata is developed by research grants to LEAD and OGCE projects funded by
National Science Foundation awards ATM-0331480, OCI-0721656, OCI-1032742 and SCI-0503697</p>
