Grid Computing enables scientists and engineers to build more and more complex applications to manage and process large data sets, and execute scientific experiments on distributed resources. Such applications include complex workflows of resources involved. Therefore, more efforts are taken to develop several workflow management systems for Grid computing. In this paper, we propose a taxonomy called Grid Venture that captures and classifies various approaches for building and executing workflows on Grids. The taxonomy not only focuses on the design and engineering similarities and differences in Grid workflow systems, but also identifies the areas that need further research.
