Dear Researcher,
As part of the work of the OGF Workflow Management Research Group, we
are gathering user scenarios and experiences on workflow
interoperability and sharing, which we intend will lead into a
research document. Andrew Harrison (group secretary) has created an
on-line form to gather information for such a research group
document, which can be found here:
http://bender.astro.cf.ac.uk/wfmrg/
We would appreciate your help in taking the time to answer these
questions and provide us with your opinions on these topics. As a
background:
There are a number of existing workflow tools and systems used by
different projects in the eScience community. Many of these projects
have a long history of activity and have, as a result, developed
specialist knowledge in certain domains as well as particular
capabilities that support the scenarios the project has been
addressing. The relative maturity of these projects means that
imposing standards which would disrupt their development or diminish
the availability of their specialisms could be counter-productive. At
OGF20 and OGF21, the Workflow Management Research Group (WFM-RG)
focussed on gathering and disseminating workflow sharing and
interoperability scenarios and requirements in an attempt to begin
developing standards and mechanisms that allow diverse workflow
systems to interoperate without undermining their individual
strengths or development procedures. This document is a request for
input into that process. It will not take long to complete. We would
like to thank all those in advance who contribute.
All the best,
Ian and Ewa
