Cooperative Processes for Scientific Workflows
نویسندگان
چکیده
The work described in this paper is a contribution to the problems of managing in data-intensive scientific applications. First, we discuss scientific workflows and motivate there use in scientific applications. Then, we introduce the concept of cooperative processes and describe their interactions and uses in a flexible cooperative workflow system called Bonita. Finally, we propose an approach to integrate and synthesize the data exchanged by the mapping of data-intensive science into Bonita, using a binary approach, and illustrate the endeavors done to enhance the performance computations within a dynamic environment.

Workflows and Cooperative Processes
Workflows emphasize the partial order of activities, and the flow of data between activities. In contrast, cooperative processes emphasize the sharing of artefact, and its gradual evolution toward the final product, under the cooperative and concurrent activities of all the involved actors. This paper contrasts workflow and cooperative processes and shows that they are more complementary than c...
متن کاملTowards an Integrated Conceptual Modelling Kernel for Business Transaction Workflows
The workflow concept, proliferated through the recently emergent computer supported cooperative work (CSCW) systems and workflow systems (see surveys in [FYW94, WW93, Rod91] and [GHS95] respectively), advances information systems (IS) implementation models by incorporating aspects of collaboration and coordination in business processes. Under traditional implementation models, applications are ...
متن کاملScientific Workflow Composition in Heterogeneous Environments
Scientific workflows have become visible as a new method for scientists to develop and design complex and distributed scientific processes to enable and accelerate many scientific discoveries. Workflows are widely used in business for a long time. However, scientific workflows are emerging as an important technology for solving complex scientific problems and thereby contributing to scientific ...
متن کاملIdentifying Process Similarities in Cooperative Workflows - A Case Study from Urban Planning
Web portals provide users with a broad range of information, functions and applications they need in a specific process environment, via webbased interfaces. Next to simplifying communication processes, these architectures can fulfill tasks like supporting the actors during cooperative processes. This paper proposes the utilization of similarities in workflows in order to reuse process patterns...
متن کاملOn the Use of Abstract Workflows to Capture Scientific Process Provenance
Capturing provenance about artifacts produced by distributed scientific processes is a challenging task. For example, one approach to facilitate the execution of a scientific process in distributed environments is to break down the process into components and to create workflow specifications to orchestrate the execution of these components. However, capturing provenance in such an environment,...
