大多数现有的科学工作流程管理系统（SWMS）都是由特定领域的应用程序驱动的，并且是在学术项目中开发的。将现有 SWMS 引入新领域具有挑战性；不仅工作流模型和描述语言不容易适应新的问题领域，而且现有系统不稳定的开发状态无法提供新应用程序所需的所有功能，从而给开发带来很高的风险。将不同的工作流系统聚合为一个通用环境，可以在实验之间共享组件和流程，并促进领域之间的知识转移。工作流总线方法是通过软件总线集成不同的电子科学工作流引擎。在本文中，我们介绍了工作流总线的基本思想，并讨论了如何使用 Jade 代理框架来构建工作流总线的运行时基础架构原型。
Most of the existing scientific workflow management systems (SWMS) are driven by applications from specific domains and are developed in academic projects. It is challenging to introduce an existing SWMS to a new domain; not only the workflow model and description language do not easily fit in new problem domains, but also the unstable development state of existing systems does not provide all functionality required by the new applications and thus gives high risk for the development. Aggregating different workflow systems as one generic environment enables the sharing on both components and processes between experiments, and promotes the knowledge transfer between domains. A workflow bus approach is to integrate different e-science workflow engines via a software bus. In this paper, we present the basic idea of workflow bus, and discuss how Jade agent framework can be used to prototype the runtime infrastructure of a workflow bus.
