Improving Performance of Complex Workflows: Investigating Moving Net Execution to the Cloud
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we propose and discuss mechanisms and implementation issues for moving the execution of computationand timeconsuming workflows into the Cloud. These complex workflows are specified by Petri nets, more precisely reference nets using the Renew tool. We believe that Cloud technology is a suitable solution to (i) overcome the lack of resources on-premises and to (ii) improve the performance of the whole system based on quality of service (QoS) constraints. As execution target for simulations, tests have been performed on an OpenStack Cloud. Furthermore, the integration and interfaces between workflows, Cloud computing and agent concepts are also addressed.
