We present Swift, a system that combines a novel scripting language called SwiftScript with
a powerful runtime system based on CoG Karajan, Falkon, and Globus to allow for the …

The integration of heterogeneous data in varying formats and from diverse communities
requires an improved understanding of the concept of a dataset, and of key related …

The GriPhyN virtual data system provides a suite of components and services for data‐
intensive sciences that enables scientists to systematically and efficiently describe, discover …

Creating scientific workflow applications is a very challenging task due to the complexity of
the distributed computing environments involved, the complex control and data flow …

The Swift parallel scripting language allows for the specification, execution and analysis of
large-scale computations in parallel and distributed environments. It incorporates a data …

In the scientific field, workflow technology is often employed to conduct computer simulations
or computer supported experiments. The underlying IT infrastructure typically comprises …

In the spirit of Landin, we present a calculus of dependent types to serve as the semantic
foundation for a family of languages called data description languages. Such languages …

As the Web services and grid community adopt semantic Web technology, we observe a
shift towards higher-level workflow composition and service discovery practices. While this …

Scientific workflows have become increasingly important for enabling and accelerating
many scientific discoveries. More and more scientists and researchers rely on workflow …

In this paper we look at the application of XML data management support in scientific data
analysis workflows. We describe a software infrastructure that aims to address issues …
