Platform API Middle-Layer (PAML)

PAML(Platform API Middle-Layer) is an installable Python package to enable anyone to (easily) write cross-platform launchers. It is used to abstract the specifics of a platform from workflow orchestration. This abstraction of the platform layer enables the orchestration component to be platform independent to support interoperability.
