To facilitate evaluation of workflow algorithms and systems on a range of workflow sizes, we have developed a workflow generator. This generator uses the information gathered from actual executions of scientific workflows on the Grid as well as our understanding of the processes behind these workflows to generate synthetic workflows resembling those used by real world scientific applications.
Additional details about this work can be found in our publication at WORKS08

CyberShake |
The CyberShake workflow is used by the Southern Calfornia Earthquake Center to characterize earthquake hazards in a region. |
|
|
Epigenomics |
The epigenomics workflow created by the USC Epigenome Center and the Pegasus Team is used to automate various operations in genome sequence processing. |
|
|
LIGO Inspiral Analysis |
LIGO's Inspiral Analysis workflow is used to generate and analyze gravitational waveforms from data collected during the coalescing of compact binary systems. |
|
|
SIPHT |
The SIPHT workflow, from the bioinformatics project at Harvard, is used to automate the search for untranslated RNAs (sRNAs) for bacterial replicons in the NCBI database. |
