Abstract

e-Science usually involves a great number of data sets, computing resources, and large teams managed and developed by research laboratories, universities, or governments. Science processes, if deployed in the workflow forms, can be managed more effectively and executed more automatically. Scientific workflows have therefore emerged and been adopted as a paradigm to organize and orchestrate activities in e-Science processes. Differing with workflows applied in the business world, however, scientific workflows need to take account of specific characteristics of science processes and make corresponding changes to accommodate those specific characteristics. A task-based scientific workflow modeling and executing approach is therefore proposed in this chapter for orchestrating e-Science with the workflow paradigm. Besides, this chapter also discusses some related work in the scientific workflow field.
