In this paper we explore to what extent the conventional workflow technology and service-oriented architecture (SOA) principles can be applied to support scientist in their experiments. Based on the requirements imposed on systems for scientific computing, e-Science and simulations, and an extended workflow life cycle we introduce the architecture of an interactive system that reuses the conventional workflow technology. We advocate the realization of this workflow system with advanced adaptation and monitoring features because we identified that modeling of scientific applications and simulations can only be done the "scientists' way" if the traditional workflow modeling as well as design and run time adaptation are combined in a user-friendly solution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
