“…The DaCapo and later the META-Frame Tool can be regarded as first service-oriented environments where tool building blocks could be graphically composed into workflows [77,111,121]. After an industrial project with Siemens Nixdorf in 1995/96, where this tool was applied to construct a service definition environment for value-added services that has subsequently been sold to over 30 Telecoms world-wide [19,107], the META-Frame tool was again renamed, now to Application Building Center (ABC), and later on re-implemented as the jABC tool in Java since 2003 and applied in numerous industrial and scientific projects (such as [9,10,40,52,73,95]). Driving forces for the further development were the scientific workflow projects reported in more detail in the course of this paper.…”

The jABC is a framework for process modelling and execution according to the XMDD (eXtreme Model-Driven Design) paradigm, which advocates the rigorous use of user-level models in the software development process and software life cycle. We have used the jABC in the domain of scientific workflows for more than a decade now -an occasion to look back and take stock of our experiences in the field. On the one hand, we discuss results from the analysis of a sample of nearly 100 scientific workflow applications that have been implemented with the jABC. On the other hand, we reflect on our experiences and observations regarding the workflow development process with the framework. We then derive and discuss ongoing further developments and future perspectives for the framework, all with an emphasis on simplicity for end-users through increased domain specificity. Concretely, we describe how the use of the PROPHETS synthesis plugin can enable a semanticsbased simplification of the workflow design process, how with the jABC4 and DyWA frameworks more attention is paid to the ease of data management, and how the Cinco SCCE Meta Tooling Suite can be used to generate tailored workflow management tools.

“…It allows users who have extensive knowledge in their domain to create domain-specific workflows even with no or little IT or programming skills (Lamprecht, 2013) and has already been used to model high availability of network services (Bajohr & Margaria, 2009;Bajohr, Margaria, & Steffen, 2006). The framework supports the graphical modeling of a system's processes and can be extended by domain-specific plug-ins (Naujokat et al, n.d.).…”

Simplifying Firewall Setups by Using Offline Validation

Firewalls are crucial for the security of most networks and implemented by packet filters. Those packet filters can be considered the direct opposite of a simple-to-use system. Configured with complex commands in plain text files, only experts are able to understand or even modify such a setup. Recently, this process has been improved by using a combination of external tools, a graphical modeling environment, and a model checker, enabling more users to participate in the process and clearing the way to automatic testing. This paper revists this concept from a simplicity perspective and shows how the whole process can be simplified while simultaneously the level of abstraction is increased and new ways of verifying the result are possible.
