How Were These Tools Built?

Reusable Components
- SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)
  - UNIX Command Line applications wrapped up in Perl become accessible to any SOAP client
- Pipeline Pilot Intrinsic Functions
  - Things like HBD/HBA, MW, Rotatable Bonds are extremely fast as implemented by Pipeline Pilot
- Pipeline Pilot protocols used as components
Pipeline Pilot as the glue for the components
- Protocols can be called as SOAP Services
- Protocols themselves can call SOAP Services
Web application interface to protocols
- Web apps are easier to deploy
- Web apps are generally easier to use and maintain
