Managing Large-Scale Scientific Workflows in Distributed Environments: Experiences and Challenges

In this paper we discuss several challenges associated scientific workflow design and management in distributed, heterogeneous environments. Based on our prior work with a number of scientific applications, we describe the workflow lifecycle and examine our experiences and the challenges ahead as they pertain to the user experience, planning the workflow execution and managing the execution itself.
