  Special Issue on Scientific Workflows


International Journal of Business Process Integration and Management
(IJBPIM) <https://www.inderscience.com/browse/index.php?journalID=115> 

 

 


Description


Scientific workflows have recently emerged as a new paradigm for
scientists to formalize and structure complex scientific processes to
enable and accelerate many significant scientific discoveries. A
scientific workflow is a formal specification of a scientific process,
which represents, streamlines, and automates the analytical and
computational steps that a scientist needs to go through from dataset
selection and integration, computation and analysis, to final data
product presentation and visualization. A scientific workflow management
system (SWFMS) is a system that supports the specification,
modification, execution, failure recovery, and monitoring of a
scientific workflow using the workflow logic to control the order of
executing workflow tasks. 

 

The goal of this special issue is to present critical challenges,
requirements, and issues related to scientific workflows. This
collection of manuscripts will discuss key aspects in the development of
a broad range of novel and innovative scientific workflow technologies.
The emphasis of the special issue is on critical challenges in the
development of various scientific workflows specifically as they relate
to business workflow and service technologies. Particular emphasis will
be placed on examples where innovative solutions to these challenges
have resulted in scientific workflows which impact the scientific
discovery process. Topics include but are not limited to:
