Automating Performance Analysis from Taverna Workflows

Abstract. Workflow systems provide support for combining components to achieve a particular outcome. Various approaches from software engineering have been utilized within such systems, such as the use of design patterns to support composition, and the use of a software engineering lifecycle to support workflow construction and execution. As components used within a workflow may be implemented by third parties, it is often necessary to be able to determine the impact a particular component composition will have on the overall execution of a workflow. A method for predicting the execution time of a given workflow is proposed. First, the method obtains a model from a given workflow in an automated way. The model obtained is a Reference net
