Diploma / Master Thesis Update and Change Propagation in Interconnected and Refined Workflow

Background The SimTech Cluster of Excellence [1] studies multi-scale and multi-field simulation methods. These methods aim for combining different scales (e.g. cells, tissue, bone, skeleton) and different scientific fields (e.g., chemistry, biology, and physics) into one overall simulation. The Institute of Architecture of Application Systems (IAAS) has built a workflow management system that is tailored specifically for the requirements and needs of scientists [2]. The workflow system allows to model simulations as workflows in order to make them more flexible and improve automation. The workflows can be modeled, executed, adapted, monitored, and analyzed. The current system orchestrates different simulation components into one workflow using either only one scale or an approximation of all scientific fields/scales onto one scale.
