ABSTRACT
We present the Taverna workflow workbench and argue that scientific workflow environments need a rich ecosystem of tools that support the scientists. experimental lifecycle. Workflows are scientific objects in their own right, to be exchanged and reused. myExperiment is a new initiative to create a social networking environment for workflow workers. We present the motivation for myExperiment and sketch the proposed capabilities and challenges. We argue that actively engaging with a scientist's needs, fears and reward incentives is crucial for success.

Workflows for Heliophysics
In this paper we describe how we have introduced workflows into the working practices of a community for whom the concept of workflows is very new, namely the heliophysics community. Heliophysics is a branch of astrophysics which studies the Sun and the ...
A UNICORE Plugin for HPC-Enabled Scientific Workflows in Taverna 2.2
SERVICES '11: Proceedings of the 2011 IEEE World Congress on ServicesAs scientific workflows are becoming more complex and apply compute-intensive methods to increasingly large data volumes, access to HPC resources is becoming mandatory. We describe the development of a novel plug in for the Tavern a workflow system, ...
Scientific Workflows as Services in caGrid: A Taverna and gRAVI Approach
ICWS '09: Proceedings of the 2009 IEEE International Conference on Web ServicesIn scientific collaboration platforms such as caGrid,workflow-as-a-service is a useful concept for various reasons, such as easy reuse of workflows, access to remote resources, security concerns, and improved execution performance. We propose a solution ...
