This book addresses the challenge of user-level workflow design with a particular focus on
the bioinformatics application domain. Towards this aim, it follows a novel, constraint-driven …

This paper presents Virtual Simulation Objects (VSO) concept which forms theoretical basis
for building tools and framework that is developed for system-level simulations using …

Abstract Knowledge-based approach for composite high-performance application building
and execution is proposed as a solution to solving complex computational-intensive …

The article presents a framework for interactive virtual environments' development for
simulation and modeling of complex systems. The framework uses system's structural model …

In this paper we present design and development of the semantic grid services for the flood
forecasting simulations. We will highlight the corresponding architecture and the process of …

Benefits of using ontologies for automatic composition of workflow application, become
evident when considering knowledge evolution influencing possibility of new workflows …

Workflow-nets are mathematical frameworks that are used to formally describe, model and
implement workflows. First, we propose critical section workflow nets (abbreviated WFCS …

Flooding in the major river basins of Central Europe is a recurrent event affecting many
countries. Almost every year, it takes away lives and causes damage to infrastructure …

Workflow-based computational experiment is a widespread way to organize distributed
simulations. But the lack of IT experience and skills is the critical issue which scientists …

Abstract Web Service Resource Framework (WSRF) is a recent effort of the grid community
to facilitate modeling of the stateful services [11]. Design and development of the WSRF …
