Abstract
This paper describes a workflow management system that was implemented according to the requirements of a Flood forecasting application [1] developed in the CrossGrid project [2]. The flood forecasting application contains several simulation models (meteorological, hydrological, hydraulic) implemented as the grid jobs. A need for a cascade execution of these models has been a motivation for creating workflow management system capable of executing of a cascade of simulations in the CrossGrid testbed. First implementation of the workflow system has been tied to the portal user interface, but currently has been decoupled as a standalone grid service, which can be used by the two user interfaces developed in the project.
