Enacting Proactive Workflows Engine in e-Science

چکیده
The dynamic nature and the geographic distribution of scientific resources, require flexible and adaptive computational environment where an in-silico experiment can be executed as a workflow of activities. In this paper, we propose a software environment to dynamically generate domain-specific, agent-based workflow engines from workflow specifications. The workflow engine is a proactive multiagent system -a distributed, concurrent systemwhose autonomous components interact in performing the workflow activities in a specific domain. The proposed approach has been implemented on Hermes, agent-based mobile computing middleware, and tested within “Oncology over Internet” project.

Decentralized orchestration of data-centric workflows in Cloud environments
Data-centric and service-oriented workflows are commonly used in scientific research to enable the composition and execution of complex analysis on distributed resources. Although there are a plethora of orchestration frameworks to implement workflows, most of them are unsuitable for executing (enacting) data-centric workflows since they are based on a centralized orchestration engine which can...
متن کاملWorkflow View Driven Cross-Organizational Interoperability in a Web-Service Environment
In an E-service environment, workflow involves not only a single organization but also a number of business partners. Therefore, workflow interoperability in such an environment is an important issue for enacting workflows. In this paper, we introduce our approach of using workflow views as a fundamental support for E-service workflow interoperability and for controlled (sub-) workflows visibil...
متن کاملVerification of Itineraries for Mobile Agent Enabled Interorganizational Workflow
We apply mobile agents to synchronize workflows of different organizations resulting in an interorganizational workflow. This paper models agent enabled interorganizational workflows using Interorganizational Workflow Nets. This model provides a means to verify the correctness (and, so the viability) of the itineraries of agents used in enacting interorganizational workflows. We also outline an...
متن کاملWorkflow Analysis using Graph Kernels
Workflow enacting systems are a popular technology in business and e-science alike to flexibly define and enact complex data processing tasks. Since the construction of a workflow for a specific task can become quite complex, efforts are currently underway to increase the re-use of workflows through the implementation of specialized workflow repositories. While existing methods to exploit the k...
متن کاملWorkflow Modeling of Combined Negotiations in E- Commerce
Workflow management is seen as one of the enabling technologies for ecommerce. Together with software agent technology, they reduce the costs and inconveniences of manual e-commerce transactions. This is partly due to the high dependability of workflow management, and to the nature of software agents, which are capable of exhibiting an autonomous, proactive, social, and adaptive behaviour. In a...
