Efficiently supporting secure and reliable collaboration in scientific workflows

Efficiently discovering critical workflows in scientific explorations

Existing workflow management systems assume that scientists have a well-specified workflow design before the execution. In reality, a lot of scientific discoveries are made as a result of a dynamic process, where scientists keep proposing new hypotheses and verifying them through multiple tries of various experiments before achieving successful experimental results. Consequently, not all the ex...

Scientific Workflows that Enable Web-Scale Collaboration

Collaborative scientific workflows supporting collaborative science

Collaboration has become a dominant feature of modern science. Many scientific problems are beyond the realm of individual discipline or scientist to solve and hence require collaborative efforts. Meanwhile, today’s science becomes increasingly more dataintensive, resulting in a rapid transition from computational science to e-Science (or digital science). Recently, scientific workflows have em...

Reliable Management of Community Data Pipelines using Scientific Workflows

The pervasive availability of scientific data from sensors and field observations is posing a challenge to data valets responsible for accumulating and managing them in data repositories. Science collaborations, big and small, are standing up repositories built on commodity clusters need to reliably ingest data constantly and ensure its availability to a wide user community. Workflows provide s...
