There is wide range of scientific workflow systems
today, each one designed to resolve problems at a specific level. In
large collaborative projects, it is often necessary to recognize the
heterogeneous workflow systems already in use by various partners
and any potential collaboration between these systems requires
workflow interoperability. PublishSubscribe Scientific Workflow
Interoperability Framework (PSSWIF) approach was proposed to
achieve workflow interoperability among workflow systems. This
paper evaluates the PSSWIF approach and its system to achieve
workflow interoperability using Web Services with asynchronous
notification messages represented by WSEventing standard. This
experiment covers different types of communication models provided
by Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC). These models are
Chained processes, Nested synchronous subprocesses, Event
synchronous subprocesses, and Nested subprocesses
(PollingDeferred Synchronous). Also, this experiment shows the
flexibility and simplicity of the PSSWIF approach when applied to a
variety of workflow systems (Triana, Taverna, Kepler) in local and
remote environments.
