PN 8: Integrated data management, workflow and visualisation to enable an integrative systems science
Coordinators: Prof. Dr. rer. nat. Frank Leymann, JP Dr.-Ing. Dimka Karastoyanova
Research Areas: E, F
Number of projects: 9 + 1 JP seed project
It is the goal of Project Network 8 to architect and design an easy-to-use infrastructure for modelling, testing, debugging, repairing and enacting simulation workflows. Scientists shall be supported in their day to day work in scientific experiments, calculations and simulations, based on the existing work-flow technology.
The partners in Project Network 8 came up with the following detailed description of the research goals:
- Specifications of composite computations and provisioning including definition of simulation workflow language that also enables support for human interactions
- Reuse of existing computational software and of simulation workflow fragments
- Handling of data from different data sources (e.g. database systems and sensors)
- Incorporating existing software for visualization of scientific data and simulation results in simulation workflows and reusing existing visualization techniques in the workflow-based infrastructure
The work towards these goals is intended to improve the state-of-the art in the areas of both Simulation Technologies and the Computer Science fields of research, whose representatives are members of the Project Area, namely: Database Management Systems, Parallel and Distributed Systems, Visualisation, Workflow Management and Service Middleware.
