Dear colleagues,
As part of the Data Observation Network for Earth (DataONE <
http://www.dataone.org>), we are researching workflow systems and workflow
complexity. In this project, we are examining a large number of the
scientific workflows that have been constructed, in order to develop a way
of categorizing workflows based on their complexity, types of processing
steps employed, and other factors. Most of this work is being done by
examining workflows on repositories such as myExperiment <
http://www.myexperiment.org>; however, it is possible that the workflows
loaded onto such repositories are not representative of workflows being used
on a daily basis by scientists doing their work. For more information,
please consult our open notebook at http://notebooks.dataone.org/workflows
Please get in contact with richard [dot] littauer [at] gmail [dot] com
if you:
- have any relevant information on workflow usage or research in the
scientific community, particularly involving natural language descriptions
and workflow repositories
- know of any science publications that mention how the authors have used
scientific workflows in conducting their science
- are aware of any faults between workflow systems, in the categorisation
of workflows, or of inadequacies in the natural language description of
workflows
- or know of any open repositories of workflows that you or your
colleagues may use to upload their workflows (besides myExperiment)
As this is a development list, most of the users on here should be able to
help in some capacity. Bearing that in mind, any help would be accepted
gratefully. As well, instead of suggesting the same articles repeatedly, it
might be best to join the Mendeley group on
Workflows<http://www.mendeley.com/groups/1189721/scientific-workflows-and-workflow-systems/>and
add them there, if that's easier for you.
[Apologies for any cross posting]
Thank you very much for your time!
