Ontology-Extended Component-Based Workflows : A Framework for Constructing Complex Workflows from Semantically Heterogeneous Software Components
نویسندگان
چکیده
Virtually all areas of human endeavor involve workflows that is, coordinated execution of multiple tasks. In practice, this requires the assembly of complex workflows from semantically heterogeneous components. In this paper, we develop ontology-extended workflow components and semantically consistent methods for assembling such components into complex ontology-extended component-based workflows. The result is a sound theoretical framework for assembly of semantically wellformed workflows from semantically heterogeneous components. Keywords– Workflows, Ontologies, Components

متن کاملComposing Workflows of Semantic Web Services
Web services are software components that can be accessed over the Internet by other software components. Web service workflows are a set of web services that are executed in a structured way. This paper introduces a workflow composer agent, which is able to compose web service workflows, and more importantly, uses semantic descriptions of web services in finding and matching web services for a...
متن کاملA semantic framework for automatic generation of computational workflows using distributed data and component catalogues
Computational workflows are a powerful paradigm to represent and manage complex applications, particularly in large-scale distributed scientific data analysis. Workflows represent application components that result in individual computations as well as their interdependencies in terms of data flow. Workflow systems use these representations to manage various aspects of workflow creation and exe...
متن کاملGuided Composition of Tasks with Logical Information Systems - Application to Data Analysis Workflows in Bioinformatics
In a number of domains, particularly in bioinformatics, there is a need for complex data analysis. For that issue, elementary data analysis operations called tasks are composed as workflows. The composition of tasks is however difficult due to the distributed and heterogeneous resources of bioinformatics. This doctorial work will address the composition of tasks using Logical Information System...
