A Workshop on Scientific and Scholarly Workflow Cyberinfrastucture: Improving Interoperability, Sustainability and Platform Convergence in Scientific and Scholarly Workflow

美国国家科学基金会OD/OCI提案编号：0753203首席研究员：Ken Klingenstein机构：科罗拉多大学提案标题：科学和学术工作流程网络基础设施研讨会：提高科学和学术工作流的互操作性，可持续性和平台融合项目摘要本提案描述了一个研讨会，旨在就共同要素，互操作性机会，以及围绕当今开发和使用的科学和学术工作流系统的其他问题。 研讨会讨论了评估现有工作流程的务实问题，并强调了对共同要素和引擎、连通性、可持续性、联合以及提取适用于科学和学术工作流程的开放和共同服务的潜力的探索。该提案指出了一些计划中的研讨会成果：确定现有工作流中的相似和不相似概念;如何利用现有的科学工作流;调查ESB或SOA在工作流环境中的使用;讨论工作流中联邦和联邦角色的作用;以及概述一个初步计划，以推动社区在工作流的融合和共识方面取得进展。讲习班结束后将编写一份报告。

National Science FoundationOD/OCIProposal Number: 0753203Principal investigator: Ken KlingensteinInstitution: University of ColoradoProposal Title: A Workshop on Scientific and Scholarly Workflow Cyberinfrastructure: Improving Interoperability, Sustainability and Platform Convergence in Scientific and Scholarly WorkflowProject SummaryThis proposal describes a workshop targeting a community dialog on common elements, opportunities for interoperability, and other issues surrounding scientific and scholarly workflow systems in development and use today. The workshop deals with pragmatic matters in taking stock of existing workflows and emphasizes the exploration of common elements and engines, connectedness, sustainability, federation, and the potential to distill open and common services applicable across scientific and scholarly workflow. The proposal notes a number of planned workshop outcomes: identifying similar and dissimilar concepts across existing workflows; how to leverage existing scientific workflows; investigating the use of ESB or SOA in workflow environments; discussing the role of federation and federated roles in workflows; and outlining an initial plan to move the community forward on convergence and consensus opinion areas for workflow. A report will be produced out of the workshop.
