The LONI Pipeline is a free distributed system for designing, executing, monitoring and sharing scientific workflows[1][2] on grid computing architectures.

Users can connect to the LONI Cranium server to gain quick access to a wide array of pre-built software applications, such as FSL, AFNI, and FreeSurfer already described in XML as modules and workflows.

The previous release (version 5) of the LONI Pipeline[3] provided a mechanism for integrating heterogeneous and incongruous data including images, clinical charts and demographic meta-data.

Pipeline has cross platform compatibility, and the ability to connect from your local client to a remote server for executing processing and analysis on other operating systems.

The Pipeline Library grants users access to hundreds of predefined neuroimaging solutions, including data, modules and workflows that are regularly updated.
