Scientific Workflow has seen massive growth in recent years as
science becomes increasingly reliant on the analysis of massive
data sets and the use of distributed resources. The workflow
programming paradigm is seen as a means of managing the complexity
in defining the analysis, executing the necessary computations on
distributed resources, collecting information about the analysis
results, and providing means to record and reproduce the scientific
analysis.
Workflows for e-Science presents an overview of the current
state of the art in the field. It brings together research from
many of leading computer scientists in the workflow area and
provides real world examples from domain scientists actively
involved in e-Science. The computer science topics addressed in the
book provide a broad overview of active research focusing on the
areas of workflow representations and process models, component and
service-based workflows, standardization efforts, workflow
frameworks and tools, and problem solving environments and
portals.
The topics covered represent a broad range of scientific
workflow and will be of interest to a wide range of computer
science researchers, domain scientists interested in applying
workflow technologies in their work, and engineers wanting to
develop workflow systems and tools. As such Workflows for e-Science
is an invaluable resource for potential or existing users of
workflow technologies and a benchmark for developers and
researchers.
