Creating scientific workflow applications is a very challenging
task due to the complexity of the distributed computing
environments involved, the complex control and data flow
requirements of scientific applications, and the lack of high-level
languages and tools support. Particularly, sophisticated expertise
in distributed computing is commonly required to determine the
software entities to perform computations of workflow tasks, the
computers on which workflow tasks are to be executed, the actual
execution order of workflow tasks, and the data transfer between
them. Qin and Fahringer present a novel workflow language called
Abstract Workflow Description Language (AWDL) and the corresponding
standards-based, knowledge-enabled tool support, which simplifies
the development of scientific workflow applications. AWDL is an
XML-based language for describing scientific workflow applications
at a high level of abstraction. It is designed in a way that allows
users to concentrate on specifying such workflow applications
without dealing with either the complexity of distributed computing
environments or any specific implementation technology. This
research monograph is organized into five parts: overview,
programming, optimization, synthesis, and conclusion, and is
complemented by an appendix and an extensive reference list. The
topics covered in this book will be of interest to both computer
science researchers (e.g. in distributed programming, grid
computing, or large-scale scientific applications) and domain
scientists who need to apply workflow technologies in their work,
as well as engineers who want to develop distributed and
high-throughput workflow applications, languages and tools.
