e-Science helps scientists to automate scientific discovery processes and experiments, and promote collaboration across organizational boundaries and disciplines. These experiments involve data discovery, knowledge discovery, integration, linking, and analysis through different software tools and activities. Scientific workflow is one technique through which such activities and processes can be...

The ability to cope with change is one of the biggest challenges companies arefacing today [JLN08]. Methods to increase business agility, such as outsourcingor off-shoring of non-core parts of the business are practiced already and willcontinue to play an important role in the future. A change in business howeveralways means to also change the underlying IT infrastructure, which...

This paper proposes a workflow based clinical decision support system(CDSS) incorporating two main parts of CDSSs: 1) clinical workflow to control diagnostic activities and clinical events, and 2) knowledge processing by rule based inference for decisionmaking of clinicians. The requirements of a workflow based CDSS were derived by analyzing SAGE (Standards-Based Sharable Active Guideline Envir...

Globus has become a standard in the construction of Grid computing environments. However, it still needs more work and research to satisfy requirements from various grid applications such as workflow services. We propose a Meta Scheduling Framework (MSF) for workflow service management based on the Globus toolkit. The MSF provides an XML-based Job Control Markup Language (JCML) for describing i...

UNLABELLED Taverna is an application that eases the integration of tools and databases for life science research by the construction of workflows. The Taverna Interaction Service extends the functionality of Taverna by defining human interaction within a workflow and acting as a mediation layer between the automated workflow engine and one or more users. AVAILABILITY Taverna, the Interaction ...

AMFIBIA is a meta-model that formalizes the essential aspects and concepts of business process modelling. Though AMFIBIA is not the first approach to formalizing the aspects and concepts of business process modelling, it is more ambitious in the following respects: First, it is independent from particular modelling formalisms of business processes and it is designed in such a way that any forma...

This paper deals with the automation of academic processes using workflow management systems. Current available workflows create lot of network traffic which leads to increase in network latency. The solution to this problem is to integrate mobile agents with workflow systems. Many researchers proposed and developed such systems but none of them consider the scenario of academic institution whi...

The use of workflow technology promises efficiency gains through the automation of manual routing, coordination and work distribution tasks. During the execution of workflows, state-changes of the workflow engine are recorded in a log file or database, the so-called audit trail. Combined with business object data, the audit trail provides exact and timely information about the operational behav...

LabFlow is a workflow management system designed for large scale biology research laboratories. It provides a workflow model in which objects flow from task to task under programmatic control. The model supports parallelism, meaning that an object can flow down several paths simultaneously, and sub-workflows which can be invoked subroutine-style from a task. The system allocates tasks to Unix p...
