“…There, our frameworks are used to define the data structures and workflows for the collection and analysis of data for cancer and cachexia research [71]. This research project involves extensive collections of detailed sample data within a complex environment that includes (1) clinical and research methods, (2) medical, assessment, and measurement equipment and (3) the regulatory requirements for data privacy, quality assurance, and security.…”

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.

“…In a collaborative project, headed by a Cancer Metabolism Research Group in São Paulo and with a large number of participating research groups spread over three continents, we have witnessed the IT challenges that scientists face when they create a large, multidisciplinary and distributed experimental infrastructure in the field of cancer-related cachexia research [3,[8][9][10]. The project team needs to cooperate across different languages and a variety of scientific backgrounds, therefore a semiotically intuitive, graphical approach is preferred over textual explanations and documents.…”

We apply an IDE for user-level process design and composition to a real-life case study: a complex workflow from an ongoing global cancer-related cachexia research project. Originally buried in a manually operated spreadsheet, the process is now fully automated and integrated into the project database, ensuring the immediate availability, consistency and reproducibility of the outcomes. Our integrated solution enables the scientists to immediately execute the processes and easily customize both processes and data model to continuously changing experimental setups. The data modeling is provided by the Dynamic Web Application framework and the process modeling functionalities by the Java Application Building Center, both following the paradigm of eXtreme Model-Driven Design for model-driven software development.
