Abstract: This is a timely book presenting an overview of the current state-of-the-art within established projects, presenting many different aspects of workflow from users to tool builders. It provides an overview of active research, from a number of different perspectives. It includes theoretical aspects of workflow and deals with workflow for e-Science as opposed to e-Commerce. The topics covered will be of interest to a wide range of practitioners.

Workflows and e-Science: An overview of workflow system features and capabilities
TL;DR: The taxonomy provides end users with a mechanism by which they can assess the suitability of workflow in general and how they might use these features to make an informed choice about which workflow system would be a good choice for their particular application.

DryadLINQ: a system for general-purpose distributed data-parallel computing using a high-level language
Yuan Yu,Michael Isard,Dennis Fetterly,Mihai Budiu,Úlfar Erlingsson,Pradeep Kumar Gunda,Jon Currey +6 more
- 08 Dec 2008
TL;DR: It is shown that excellent absolute performance can be attained--a general-purpose sort of 1012 Bytes of data executes in 319 seconds on a 240-computer, 960- disk cluster--as well as demonstrating near-linear scaling of execution time on representative applications as the authors vary the number of computers used for a job.

Maps of Dust Infrared Emission for Use in Estimation of Reddening and Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation Foregrounds
TL;DR: In this article, a reprocessed composite of the COBE/DIRBE and IRAS/ISSA maps, with the zodiacal foreground and confirmed point sources removed, is presented.
A hierarchical O(N log N) force-calculation algorithm
Josh Barnes,Piet Hut +1 more
TL;DR: A novel method of directly calculating the force on N bodies that grows only as N log N is described, using a tree-structured hierarchical subdivision of space into cubic cells, each is recursively divided into eight subcells whenever more than one particle is found to occupy the same cell.

Business process execution language for web services
Matjaz B. Juric
- 05 Oct 2004
TL;DR: This book focuses on executable processes and comes back to abstract processes in Chapter 4, which can be used to replace sets of rules usually expressed in natural language, which is often ambiguous.

The Physiology of the Grid An Open Grid Services Architecture for Distributed Systems Integration
Ian Foster,Carl Kesselman,Jeffrey M. Nick,Steven Tuecke +3 more
- 01 Jan 2002
TL;DR: This presentation complements an earlier foundational article, “The Anatomy of the Grid,” by describing how Grid mechanisms can implement a service-oriented architecture, explaining how Grid functionality can be incorporated into a Web services framework, and illustrating how the architecture can be applied within commercial computing as a basis for distributed system integration.
Kommunikation mit Automaten
C. A. Petri
- 01 Jan 1962
TL;DR: The theory of automata is shown not capable of representing the actual physical flow of information in the solution of a recursive problem and a theory of communication is proposed that yields a means of representation that with equal rigor and simplicity accomplishes more than the theory of synchronous automata.
