SPFlow is a scientific workflow rewriting tool. SPFlow aims at transforming complex workflow structures (non series-parallel structures) into provenance-equivalent simple workflow structures (series-parallel structures). SPFlow takes as an input a file representing one scientific workflow from Taverna and produces another file in which the structure of the original workflow is made series-parallel while ensuring that both workflows have the same provenance (more information available at [32] , [39] ). The tool is freely available at http://www.lri.fr/~chenj/SPFlow .
