Web services workflow with result data forwarding as resources
نویسندگان
چکیده
Under a centralized workflow model, distributed data transfer between consective services in a Web service workflow can save network bandwidth and avoid the centralized workflow engine being overloaded. The proposed Web Service Data Forwarding(WSDF) framework harnesses the Web Service Resource Framework(WSRF) to meet this requirement. WSDF compliant service in a workflow can forward the result to its successor service for future usage. This result forwarding function is implemented at the WSDF server level and is transparent to functional services. Our prototype system has proved that this framework can save data transfer time and improve the overall performance of the workflow significantly.

Architectural Plan for Constructing Fault Tolerable Workflow Engines Based on Grid Service
In this paper the design and implementation of fault tolerable architecture for scientific workflow engines is presented. The engines are assumed to be implemented as composite web services. Current architectures for workflow engines do not make any considerations for substituting faulty web services with correct ones at run time. The difficulty is to rollback the execution state of the workflo...
