Performance-Aware Workflow Management for Grid Computing
Overview Grid middleware development has advanced rapidly over the past few years to support component-based programming models and service-orientated architectures. This is most evident with the forthcoming release of the Globus toolkit (GT4), which represents a convergence of concepts (and standards) from the web services community. Grid applications are increasingly modular, composed of workflow descriptions that can feature both resource and application dynamism. To manage workflow effectively, it is advantageous to understand the performance implications of executing individual tasks in a given configuration to ensure that specific qualities of service are achieved across the entire flow. In this paper, a multi-tiered workflow management system is described.
