Workflow conversion and processing in the askalon grid environment. 2nd Austrian Grid Symposium

Abstract. We present a novel approach for intermediate representation and processing of scientific workflows, applied in ASKALON Grid environment. We present the techniques used by us to make the representation self-contained and dynamic. In particular, we explain the principles of workflow conversion and speculative workflow prediction implemented by us. In a series of experiments we show the performance of conversion of several real-world workflow applications, and discuss how our implementation can be improved in the future. 1
