چکیده

Workflow views abstract groups of tasks in a workflow into composite tasks, and are used for simplifying provenance analysis, workflow sharing and reuse. An unsound view does not preserve the dataflow between tasks in the workflow, and can therefore cause incorrect provenance analysis. In this demo we present WOLVES, a system that efficiently identifies and corrects unsound workflow views with minimal changes (view correction). Since the view correction problem is NP-hard, WOLVES allows the user to choose between two forms of local optimality, strong and weak. Efficient time algorithms achieving these optimalities are implemented in WOLVES.

A Fine-Grained Workflow Model with Provenance-Aware Security Views

In this paper we propose a fine-grained workflow model, based on context-free graph grammars, in which the dependency relation between the inputs and outputs of a module is explicitly specified as a bipartite graph. Using this model, we develop an access control mechanism that supports provenance-aware security views. Our security model not only protects sensitive data and modules from unauthor...

Secure Scientific Workflow Provenance Querying with Security Views

Provenance, the metadata that pertains to the derivation history of a data product starting from its original sources, has become increasingly important in scientific workflow environments. In many cases, both data products and their provenance can be sensitive and effective access control mechanisms are essential to protect their confidentiality. In this paper, we propose i) a formalization of...

Provenance in Scientific Workflow Systems

The automated tracking and storage of provenance information promises to be a major advantage of scientific workflow systems. We discuss issues related to data and workflow provenance, and present techniques for focusing user attention on meaningful provenance through “user views,” for managing the provenance of nested scientific data, and for using information about the evolution of a workflow...

On User Views in Scientific Workflow Systems

An increasing number of scientific workflow systems are providing support for the automated tracking and storage of provenance information. However, the amount of provenance information recorded can become very large, even for a single execution of a workflow – [6] estimates a ten-fold blowup of the size of the original input data. There is therefore a need to provide ways of allowing users to ...

Zoom*UserViews: Querying Relevant Provenance in Workflow Systems

In this demonstration, we present the ZOOM*UserView system, and focus on the module which generates a “user view” based on what tasks the user perceives to be relevant in the workflow specification. We will show how user views can be used to reduce the amount of information returned by provenance queries, while focusing on information the user finds relevant. User views are based on the notion ...
