In this paper, we present a multicriteria-based framework for comparing Workflow modelling tools. Our model uses the nature of the process and the collection of workflow patterns as evaluation criteria. Specifically, our goal is to use ELECTRE method to rank the tools from best to worst according to their ability to support the workflow patterns. Our approach is justified by the fact that none ...

Laboratory diagnosis plays a critical role in the containment of pandemic. Strong laboratory quality management systems (QMS) are essential for diagnostic services. However, low capacities resource-limited countries has made maintenance assurance, especially during pandemic, daunting task. In this paper, we describe our experience how went about providing testing services SARS-CoV-2 thro...

This paper describes the Virtual Laboratory for e-Health system which is currently being developed in the EU IST ViroLab project. The Virtual Laboratory is an environment that enables clinical researchers to prepare and execute computing experiments using a distributed Grid infrastructure, while not requiring in-depth Grid computing technologies knowledge. By virtualizing the hardware, computin...

A lack of pliant software tools that support small- to medium-scale DNA sequencing efforts is a major hindrance for recording and using laboratory workflow information to monitor the overall quality of data production. Here we describe VSQual, a set of Perl programs intended to provide simple and powerful tools to check several quality features of the sequencing data generated by automated DNA ...

to use services transparently in a distributed environment, the utility grids develop a cyber-infrastructure. the parameters of the quality of service such as the allocation-cost and makespan have to be dealt with in order to schedule workflow application tasks in the utility grids. optimization of both target parameters above is a challenge in a distributed environment and may conflict one ano...
