Description
To produce scientific results, scientists run analyses that involve the execution of multiple binaries, execution of the same binary on many data sets, or both. Efficient orchestration of these "workflows" on the grid has become critical for users in several disciplines. This session will provide an overview of current use of workflow managers on the grid and touch on technical issues that facilitate or impede their use on the EGEE infrastructure.

The OMII-UK myGrid project (http://www.mygrid.org.uk) has developed the popular Taverna workflow workbench, used for a wide range of data-centric Life Science problems and increasing within other domains such as astronomy and music. Taverna was designed to suit the work-a-day bioinformatician in a normal (not especially well-resourced) research laboratory, in order to ease and automate the...

Workflows have become a daily tool for applications on the Grid. In essence every non trivial application requires the composition and orchestration of data and functionality to produce useful scientific results. This talk will give an overview of the tools and technologies that currently utilize the EGEE Grid and gLite, in order to define, run and monitor workflows. The talk will outline the...
