Cooperative Processes for Scientific Workflows

by K. Gaaloul, F. Charoy, & C. Godart arXiv.org E-print Archive, 4 Oct 2006 The work described in this paper is a contribution to the problems of managing in data-intensive scientific applications. First, we discuss scientific workflows and motivate there use in scientific applications. Then, we introduce the concept of cooperative processes and describe their interactions and uses in a flexible cooperative workflow system called Bonita. Finally, we propose an approach to integrate and synthesize the data exchanged by the mapping of data-intensive science into Bonita, using a binary approach, and illustrate the endeavors done to enhance the performance computations within a dynamic environment.
