Abstract: As part of the UKIRT ORAC project, we have developed a pipeline (ORAC-DR) for driving on-line data reduction using existing astronomical packages as algorithm engines and display tools. The design is modular and extensible on several levels, allowing it to be easily adapted to a wide variety of instruments. Here we briefly review the design, discuss the robustness and speed of execution issues inherent in such pipelines, and address what constitutes a desirable (in terms of “buy-in“ effort) engine or tool.
