FlexPipe builds on the DASH prototype we developed by extending it to multiple instances over multiple nodes, while still maintaining the clean event-oriented foundation. The main goals of this effort are to:
Implement FlexPipe instances and the FlexPipe manifold

Using the above implementations, deploy pipelines for two of our collaborative projects ( PMT and IGTC)

Implement web interfaces for configuration and monitoring of pipelines

Implement and deploy FlexPipe Main
