Business and scientific workflow management systems (WfMS) offer different features to their users because they are developed for different application areas with different require...
Provenance in the context of workflows, both for the data they derive and for their specification, is an essential component to allow for result reproducibility, sharing, and know...
: This paper investigates the use of the Business Process Execution Language for Web services (BPEL4WS/ BPEL) for managing scientific workflows. The complexity, unpredictability an...
Workflows have recently emerged as a paradigm for representing and managing complex distributed scientific computations and therefore accelerate the pace of scientific progress. A...

Large scale bioinformatics experiments are usually composed by a set of data flows generated by a chain of activities (programs or services) that may be modeled as scientific work...
Geo-sciences involve large-scale parallel models, high resolution real time data from highly asynchronous and heterogeneous sensor networks and instruments, and complex analysis a...
With the advances in e-Sciences and the growing complexity of scientific analyses, more and more scientists and researchers are relying on workflow systems for process coordinatio...
Selection of resources for execution of scientific workflows in data grids becomes challenging with the exponential growth of files as a result of the distribution of scientific e...
