Research Field "Modelling of Workflow"
Research is needed to make the modelling of a workflow easier to design, configure, and deploy applications, in particular for large scale, multi organizational, distributed environments. There is the lack of a well-established workflow description language that is suitable for describing workflows on a high level and at the same time efficiently usable in different application areas, such as those related to the science and engineering domains. Indeed, application areas in science and engineering usually have their own established methodologies for solving domain specific problems and require their own specialised set of tools. This is clearly conflicting with the desirable requirement of having a workflow language conform to current (and proposed) standards for interoperability. This research issue, in turn, involves challenges related to verification, optimization, execution, and dynamic change of the models.
