__KARAJAN__ Karajan is a workflow specification language and execution engine, being developed within the Java CoG Kit. Execution engine is based on the Globus Toolkit, while the language is a common purpose XML-based language which can express complicated workflows including conditional control flows and loops. The execution model includes execution elements being the tasks to be run, and the events generated during the workflow execution. Execution elements can be in different states depending on the current status of the execution. Events can be generated by the elements or the environment, and cause different actions. Dynamic scheduling of the elements is done in simple way (list of available resources). Basic checkpointing has been also implemented on the workflow level (the workflow can be checkpointed, when all its elements are in consistent states). __RESOURCES__ - http://www-unix.globus.org/cog/java/ - http://www.cogkit.org/ 2005-07-14 15:06:44.68 2004-10-11 06:13:29.031
