Workflow Description Languages/Compatibility and Conversion 1 Compatibility and Conversion of different Grid Workflow Description Languages During the second workpackage meeting on July 15th 2005 in Barcelona, the [CoreGRID] task 5.3 concretized the plans for the establishment of a research group about compatibility and conversion of different Grid workflow description languages. Objective of this research group will be a joint survey about compatibility and conversion (mapping) issues between commonly available workflow description languages. The initial core partners for this research group are [Fraunhofer FIRST], [University of Münster], [UNICAL], and [INFN]. 1 Contact If you want to participate at this research group, please contact Andreas Hoheisel ([bassheide]). 1 Survey about existing work in this field 1.1 Mappings among languages and formalisms 1.1.1 Mappings between formalisms - [Workflow patterns] -> [UML] {link:http://www.bpmn.org/Documents/Notations%20and%20Workflow%20Patterns.pdf} - [Workflow patterns] -> [BPML] {link:http://www.bpmn.org/Documents/Notations%20and%20Workflow%20Patterns.pdf} - [State Machine] -> [Petri Net]: If every transition in a Petri net has exactly one input place and exactly one output place, the net is in effect a state machine. - ~~more to be included~~ 1.1.1 From formalisms to languages - [BPMN] -> [BPEL] {link:http://www.bpmn.org/Documents/Mapping%20BPMN%20to%20BPEL%20Example.pdf} - ~~more to be included~~ 1.1.1 Mappings between languages - [BPEL] 1.1 -> [PNML] ([Petri Net]): {link:bpel2pn|http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/top/bpel2pn/}, Humboldt University, Berlin, Germany - ~~more to be included~~ 2006-02-10 10:07:14.063 2005-12-20 13:26:41.84
